Abstract
The response of plants to saline environments has evoked interest mainly from two points of view. One, purely applied, is concerned with the utilization of saline soils, the prevention of secondary salinization and the usage of slightly saline waters in agriculture. The other is concerned with the basic effects of salinity on structure and composition of soils, the interrelationships between salinity of soils and water, and the plant’s growth, productivity and physiology.
