Infos

This book presents the current state of knowledge on plant salt tolerance acquired through meticulous analysis of the processes operating across the Central Dogma with particular focus on the modulation of gene expression, and its implications for improving salt tolerance.

---

Gene expression in cells follows a prescribed pathway that conforms to the Central Dogma; where the genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into RNA and then expressed into proteins, which influences most plant traits. Plant salt tolerance research is directed towards identifying nucleotide variants that could contribute to tolerant phenotypes. This book comprehensively presents the current state of knowledge on plant salt tolerance through meticulous analysis of the processes operating across the Central Dogma. It provides a detailed account of modulation of gene expression through genome editing systems to achieve crop improvement against salt stress. It also provides state-of-the-art information on advances in breeding technologies of genome selection and accelerated de novo domestication for rapidly improving the salt tolerance of plants for global food security.

This book:
1.Provides a comprehensive coverage of plant salt tolerance mechanisms.
2.Spotlights various factors functioning along the Central Dogma pathway and their regulation in response to salinity.
3.Examines how these factors function to protect the plants from high salinity.
4.Highlights advances in cutting-edge breeding technologies for improving salt tolerance.

The book will be of particular value to students and researchers of plant genetics, molecular biology and physiology and those with an interest in salinity and salt tolerance.
