Abstract
Salinity limits the production of approximately 40% of the world’s agricultural land [1]. In order to overcome the decline of cultivated areas and the high demands for food and energy, a particular interest was accorded to the salty lands. To regreen these areas, two strategies have been developed: i) the genetic manipulation of common crop species for increased salt tolerance, and ii) the utilization of naturally salt-tolerant species (halophytes) [2].
