Nitrogen and Phosphorus Nutrition Under Salinity Stress

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ecophysiology and Responses of Plants under Salt Stress

Abstract

Salinity is the major environmental stresses in the world. Approximately, 30 % of cultivated soils are suffered from salinity stresses. Salinity stresses affect plant growth, development, and crop productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. Several articles report that relationship between salinity and nutrition, i.e. nutrient imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, nutrient metabolism are influenced by accumulation of salt. Salinity stresses causes extreme accumulation of Na+ and Cl− ions in plant cells. Among mineral nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus are most important nutrients for plants in both vegetative and reproductive stages. In this chapter, the effect of salinity stress on N and P uptake, utilization, metabolism, and homeostasis in plants is focused.
