Salinity is one of the most serious environmental stress factors that can affect plant growth negatively and reduce productivity [1]. Today, about 800 million hectares of farmland, 20% of the world's crop production areas, and about 50% of irrigated agricultural areas are affected by salinity [2][3][4][5]. Salinity leads to osmotic stress, ion imbalance, and nutrition deficiency. If the salinity in the soil is too high, the capability of plants to obtain water from the soil is weakened because of excessive external osmotic pressure, which slows down the growth rate and causes the leaf to start wilting [6].Survival is one of the agronomic selection criteria to identify plant tolerance to salinity stress. Survival capability to stress factors begins with the seed germination phase. It is the first growth stage of the plants cultivating and is negatively affected by salinity [7,8]. Several previous studies have stated that the seed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
