Monitoring Soil Salinity and Recent Advances in Mechanism of Salinity Tolerance in Plants

Abstract

Salt stress is the most prominent factor that has affected agriculture production, induced various problems, and a serious challenge to food security. Numerous adverse effect can be noticed during salt stress that is pretentious to their physiological, biochemical, molecular, and morphological functions. Plants develop a mechanism to subdue the problem that arises through salt stress via adoption or tolerance process but these mechanisms are not sustainable. It leads to a decline in the biomass of plants and overall crop productivity. For sustainable development of food security and overcome the looming endanger of salt stress in the reduction of food production and exponential population growth, novel and advanced technologies like plant breeding, biotechnology, nanotechnology can be explored and made to work for the development of salt tolerance of crop varieties.

Physiological and Proteomic Analysis of Seed Germination under Salt Stress in Mulberry

“…Due to improper irrigation practices, poor fertilizer application and industrial pollution, the salinized land area will continue to increase, and it is predicted that more than half of the arable land will be salinized by 2050 [3]. Soil salt stress not only causes direct ionic toxicity to plants, but also indirectly induces osmotic stress and oxidative stress, inhibition of cell division and proliferation, and affects plants at the physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels [4,5]. These adverse physio-biochemical and molecular conditions simultaneously leads to inhibits plant growth, and its development.…”

Identification of species of the genus Acer L. using vegetation indices calculated from the hyperspectral images of leaves

“…Remote hyperspectral sensing provides an powerful tool in researches of the vegetation patterns, including that related to the vegetation types, changes in growth characteristics, physiology, and morphology (Xue and Su, 2017). It is an art combined with science and information technology that helps monitor and manage crop health, soil architecture, weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc, in real-time (Singh et al, 2020). Hyperspectral imaging implies conducting an analysis of the sunlight or the artificial light reflected from plant leaves using a large number of the spectral bands that increases accuracy, flexibility, quantity and quality of the information obtaining on the vegetation cover.…”
