Description:
Increasing salinity of soil and water threatens agriculture in arid and semiarid regions. By itself, the traditional engineering approach to the problem is no longer adequate. Genetic science offers the possibility of developing salt-tolerant crops, which, in conjunction with environmental manipulation, could improve agricultural production in saline regions and extend agriculture to previously unsuited regions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Epstein, E -- Norlyn, J D -- Rush, D W -- Kingsbury, R W -- Kelley, D B -- Cunningham, G A -- Wrona, A F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Oct 24;210(4468):399-404.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17837407" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
