Opis

This work was carried out with the objective to find out a solution to cope with the problem of soil salinity; a major constraint to crop production. This work is of great importance in explaining new ways to improve salt tolerance of sugarcane. We are optimistic that this can be also useful for other plants as well. The work not only describes the improvement of salinity tolerance but also throws light on the relationship of salinity tolerance with antioxidant enzyme activities. To conclude we would like to say that it is only a minute cintribution to the vast sea of knowledge having a lot of hard work and originality behind it.
