Research progress on the response of cucurbit crops to salt stress and the enhancement measures of salt tolerance
Salt stress is one of the main abiotic factors affecting the growth and yield of cucurbit crops.This paper re-viewed the effects of salt stress on the growth and physiology of cucurbit crops,and summarized the mitigation effects and mechanisms of exogenous substances,salt-tolerant variety breeding,biological induction,grafting and other salt-tolerant enhancement measures on the salt stress of cucurbit crops.At the same time,the development direction of salt-tolerant en-hancement measures was prospected,in order to provide a basis for the increase of yield and quality improvement of cucur-bit crops in saline soil environment.
