Abstract

Salt stress or salinity causes major losses in crops worldwide and affects about 20% of agricultural land. Saline and sodic (alkaline) soils cause the two types of slat stress in plants. A salt-tolerant plant (or crop) also called a halophyte can grow and complete its life cycle with a relatively good yield in saline soils. Salt tolerance (ST) depends on the plant species and genotype. In this chapter, we summarized QTL mapping data and candidate genes for ST for nearly a decade and a half (2004-2020). These findings will improve our understanding of ST mechanisms in soybean and help breeders and farmers in developing robust and salt-tolerant cultivars to be grown in saline soils worldwide.
