Review on effects of salt stress on plant energy metabolism processes in arid regions
Salt stress is one of the important abiotic stresses affecting plant growth in arid region,which affects plant energy metabolism processes and in turn adversely affects plant growth and development.Stable energy sup-ply is closely related to salt tolerance of plants.Based on it,the energy metabolism processes of plants in the con-ditions of osmotic stress,ion stress,nutrient deficiency,oxidative stress and photosynthetic damage were sys-tematically reviewed from three stages of seed germination,vegetative growth and reproductive growth.The aim is to provide theoretical basis and reference for improving the salt tolerance of plants and the rational utilization of saline land in arid regions.
