Abstract

The world's agricultural productivity has been on the decline due to salinity, which is a significant abiotic element. To find a solution to this problem, researchers have been concentrating their efforts on the enzymes and biochemical pathways involved in salt tolerance. The ultimate objective is to develop crops that are resistant to salt. Developments in molecular biology have facilitated the production of salt-tolerant cultivars by conventional breeding techniques. A significant amount of salt can inhibit the growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.), a major food crop in many nations. This is especially true during the early stages of plant development. Rice's physiological, molecular, and biochemical reactions to excessive salinity have been the subject of significant exploration and investigation. The possible applications and implications of salinity tolerance are also discussed in this article, as well as the approaches that can be used to locate plants that are tolerant of salt.
