Abstract:
Salinity is one of the main factors which affect the growth and development of rice. Therefore, improving the capacity of rice salt-tolerance is urgently needed for its breeding. In this review, the mechanism of salt-tolerance in rice, cloning of salt-tolerance related genes and transformation of these genes into rice were reviewed. The prosperity of transgenic rice with salt resistance was predicted and potential problems existing in this field were discussed, as to support totally comprehension and advice for researchers in this field. It will provide some valuable information for the efficient development of transgenic rice tolerant to salt.
