Description Food and nutritional security of a burgeoning global population in face of unabated
land degradation, depletion of fresh water and prime croplands, and climate change
impacts remains a challenge. Salinization of agricultural lands caused by the natural
and anthropogenic factors is a severe obstacle to realizing sustainable agricultural
production. Majority of the fruit crops are highly susceptible to salinity and related
problems like water logging. Use of salt tolerant scion and rootstock cultivars is seen
as a viable means of lessening the salt induced damages. Nonetheless, development
and commercial release of salt tolerant cultivars in fruit crops has progressed rather
slowly. Moreover, salt tolerance of most of the currently available cultivars breaks
down when root zone salinity exceeds the critical threshold. This has led to a departure
from conventional screening trials to molecular and genomics tools to broaden the
understanding of salt stress regulation at the gene, protein and metabolite levels. The
ultimate aim is to introgress such genes into established cultivars in a manner that is
cost efficient and safe from human and environmental health perspectives.
