- Abstract
Water scarcity on a global scale declines the availability of fresh water for agricultural usage. This situation demands the urgent need of utilizing saline water as an alternative resource for irrigation. Stressful environments characterized by adverse natural conditions such as drought, salinity and heat impact the normal molecular, biochemical and physiological processes in crops. Plant stress responses to adverse environmental conditions are reviewed with emphasis on growth, physiological and electrophysiological mechanisms of plant tolerance. This review may also help in interdisciplinary studies to evaluate the photosynthetic threshold levels for rewatering of plant with diluted saline water. Furthermore, considering the goal of high plant production, the best rewatering time was found when plants undergo threshold levels. Therefore, this review provides a new method for dilution of saline irrigation based on plant physiology, which has a huge practical and theoretical importance for saline irrigation research.
