Abstract
Agriculture productivity must increase to feed a world of 9 billion by 2050. However, farmlands are increasingly exposed to degradation phenomena associated to climate change and current agricultural practices. It is estimated that of over 270 million hectares of irrigated land, nearly 20% is salt affected. In this study we addressed overlooked effects of long-term salinization on tomato yield and we identify crop traits that should be potentiated to counteract the impact of salinization in agriculture.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
