Preface
Hyper soil salinity has emerged as a key abiotic stress factor and poses serious threats to crop yields and quality of produce. Owing to the underlying complexity, conventional breeding programs have met with limited success. The conventional genetic engineering approaches via transferring/overexpressing a single “direct action gene” per event did not yield optimal results as expected. Never
