Abstract

Both drought and soil salinity are common occurrences in arid climates, and many of the plant responses and adaptations are in common. In this chapter we discuss whether breeding plants for drought tolerance will benefit their growth and yield in saline soil, and whether breeding plants for salt tolerance will provide a benefit in dry soil with low salinity. We summarise the knowledge of traits and QTLs that are useful for breeding, and finish with some relevant case studies with different crops.
