Salinity is becoming a major threat to plant productivity loss in agricultural system. Plants respond to saline
environment by modulating the inherent mechanisms to adjust to the changing environment. The understanding
of the mechanisms that plants operate under saline environment is essential beginning in efforts to reduce the
adverse effects of salinity stress. The agricultural system is tightly linked with the fertilizer input and thus the
judicious application of fertilizers is expected to lead positive effects in reversing the salinity effects. Sulfur is a
macronutrient with essential roles in plant development under optimal and stressful environment. Several compounds
are synthesized from sulfur metabolism useful in reversing the adverse effects of abiotic stress because.. View More»
