Abstract

In 1928 the late Otto STOCKER referred to deserts as “dry oceans” having huge reservoirs of soluble salts. Although aridity is not necessarily identical with salinity, in many deserts the salt factor may be of larger ecological significance than the water factor (ALBERT 1982). For this very reason salinity research on higher plants has been gaining recently considerably increasing support. In the arid zone, not only in natural environments or in little-developed agriculture but also and particularly in highly developed irrigation systems, salinity is beginning to be recognized as a major factor limiting productivity. This has triggered vigorous international conference and publication activities. Breeders seem to agree that increasing basic knowledge is essential. However, physiologists may have to address themselves more to the elucidation of basic mechanisms, preferentially on the molecular level, than to accumulate phenomenological information on plant behavior. Known molecular mechanisms (“gene products”) can provide distinct starting points for breeding efforts; known phenomena do not significantly change the situation of the breeder compared with his traditional selection procedures. Modern techniques like tissue and cell culture, protoplast isolation and fractionation, including isolation of vacuoles, allowing studies of metabolite and enzyme compartmentation and enzyme properties, are adopted too reluctantly by plant physiologists working on the mechanisms of plant responses to salinity. This has slowed down progress, but it must be expected that it will change due to demand and support from practical requirements. The recent literature on salt inclusion and exclusion and salt elimination is reviewed here and confronted with modern developments in transport physiology that may determine progress in the future.
