Summary:

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.

Contents:

1. Involvement of genetic mutations in plant salt tolerance

2. Regulation of nucleotide metabolism in response to salt stress

3. Role of DNA replication proteins in salinity tolerance of plants

4. Chromatin architecture: role of epigenetic modifications and nucleosome occupancy in modulating plant responses to salt stress

5. Functional role of RNA binding proteins in plant salt tolerance

6. Sequestration of mRNAs: role of stress granules and processing bodies in plant salt tolerance

7. Updates on protein post-translational modifications for modulating response to salinity

8. Integration of genomics-assisted and speed breeding for enhancement of plant salt tolerance

9. Advances in plant phenotyping for enhanced salt tolerance

10. De novo domestication of wild and halophilic plants for designing salt tolerant crops: acceleration through CRISPR
