title: Recent progress of salinity tolerance research in plants.
abstract: This paper reviews the most recent research progress in the field of salt tolerance for plants such as Arabidopsis, tomato, wheat, rice and cotton. Salinity tolerance is defined and classified, and research advances in the physiology, cellular biology and molecular biology of salt tolerance are presented. Additionally, transgenic breeding advances are profiled and the studies on quantitative trait locus are given; finally, an outlook for future salinity resistance research is proposed.
