Abstract

The mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants were reviewed focusing on root characteristics of salt-tolerant cultivars under saline conditions. The salt-tolerant traits were characterized as greater root growth, higher efficiency in water uptake, lower Na+ permeability, better root osmotic adjustment, and higher root pressure. The roles of these characteristics in plant growth and crop production under saline conditions were discussed.
