      title = {Saline soil-based agriculture by halotolerant  microorganisms /},
      abstract = {This book discusses the role of salt in current  agricultural approaches, including the low salt tolerance  of agricultural crops and trees, impact of saline soils,  and salt-resistant plants. Halophytes are extremely salt  tolerant plants, which are able to grow and survive under  salt at concentrations as high as 5 g/l by maintaining  negative water potential. The salt-tolerant microbes  inhabiting the rhizospheres of halophytes may contribute to  their salt tolerance, and the rhizospheres of halophytic  plants provide an ideal opportunity for isolating various  groups of salt-tolerant microbes that could enhance the  growth of different crops under salinity stress. The book  offers an overview of salt-tolerant microbes' ability to  increase plant tolerance to salt to facilitate plant  growth, the potential of the halophytes rhizospheres as a  reservoir of beneficial salt-tolerant microbes, their  future application as bio-inoculants in agriculture and a  valuable resource for an alternative way of improving crop  tolerance to salinity and promoting saline soil-based  agriculture. This special collection of reviews highlights  some of the recent advances in applied aspects of plant  (halophytes)-microbe interactions and their contribution  towards eco-friendly approaches saline soil-based  agriculture.},
