“…In vitro cultivated "Gisela 6" cherry and exposed to various salt concentrations also showed increased malondialdehyde content as well as expression of SOD, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione reductase. Milosevic et Milošević [54] found that the Myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) is one of the most tolerant to salinity and B (reduced salt uptake in the root), while the peach "Nemared" (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most sensitive (high salt content in the stem).…”

Plant Abiotic Stress Responses and Tolerance Mechanisms

Salt stress is a sever threat to global agriculture. Improving salt tolerance is a problematic task due to the large number of characteristics involved. Graft technique is a potential substitute to breeding and interesting practices to salt tolerance since it unites a scion and rootstock of two genotypes. Increased salinity tolerance in fruit trees will alter water relations, disrupt ionic balance, which can harm plant tissues and thus limit plant productivity. Therefore, the ability of fruit trees to resist salinity varies by species, although it is mostly determined by the type of their root systems. In this regard, the selection of salt-tolerant rootstocks can help maintain productivity under salinity. Several physiological and biochemical changes are attributed to the favorable response of grafting exerted by tolerant rootstocks or scion-rootstock interactions on yield and fruit attributes of plants in saline environments. Rootstocks provide grafted plants different salt tolerance mechanisms including the accumulation of compatible solutes and enhancing the antioxidant mechanisms in scion. The importance of grafting, strategies for selecting appropriate rootstocks, scion-rootstock interaction for growth and the tolerance mechanisms used by plants to avoid the effects of salt stress, are all discussed in this review. Grafting’s potential challenges are also discussed.
