Abstract: With the increase of global population and the decrease of arable area, growing serious food crisis leads to the exploration and utilization of salinized lands on Earth received attentions. People keep improving salinized lands through a variety of measures, and cultivate crops of high salt tolerance. In this paper we mainly introduce salt tolerance mechanisms in plants, as well as overview and future direction of researches on genetic engineering of plant salt tolerance.

Key words: salinization, salt tolerance mechanism, genetic engineering, transgenic plant
