Abstract

This paper discusses some general aspects
about salinity tolerance in cultivated plants, and the national
and international results obtained on the evaluation and
selection methods, the agronomical ways to act in the plant
under stress conditions and the genetical breeding for this
character. The possible protocols to be followed to apply
molecular markers in the genetic breeding for salinity stress
is also recommended. It is concluded that if it is possible to
deepen on the different levels of plant organism, it will be
able to reach a better understanding of the salt-tolerance
regulating mechanisms and to make more efficient the
evaluation and selection works of more tolerant species and
varieties, as well as to increase the genetic diversity through
the development of new genetical programs by using
advanced techniques, that undoubtedly will be shown by a
higher food production in salt-affected areas.
