The document discusses mechanisms of salinity tolerance in plants. It describes how plants can tolerate high salt concentrations through avoidance, tissue tolerance, and salt dilution. Avoidance mechanisms keep salt ions away from sensitive plant tissues through exclusion, excretion, or compartmentalization of ions. Tissue tolerance allows plants to tolerate accumulated ions through compartmentalization at the cellular and intracellular levels. Salt dilution increases plant storage volume to dilute ion concentrations. The document provides examples of plant species that exhibit different tolerance mechanisms and strategies to mitigate the effects of salinity on crops.
