    Effect of Salinity Stress on Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) and Mitigation Strategies
    Author(s): Shamil Alo Sora*

    Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family. It is a crop of immense economic importance worldwide and salinity is one of the major abiotic factors limiting its production and productivity globally. The amount of irrigation water and their evapotranspiration is the main reason that causes salinization. Salinity is an abiotic stress that affects agriculture by severely impacting crop growth and, consequently, final yield. Considering that sea levels rise at an alarming rate over year, it is clear that salt stress constitutes a top-ranking threat to agriculture. Among the economically important crops that are sensitive to high salinity is tomato one that is more affected by salt stress. Si plays the beneficial role of the quasi-essential metalloid Silicon (Si), which increases the vigor and protects plants against (a) biotic stresses. The use of silicon.. View More»
