Water scarcity – the fault of salt?
Salinity affects:
6% of cultivated area
20% of irrigate area
Salt tolerant crops would help combat water scarcity and losses from
salinity stress and thus food insecurity.
Salinity stress in plants
Salinity stress
• Osmotic component
Increased osmotic potential in soil
• Ionic component
