Insights into the Detrimental Impacts and Coping Mechanisms under Salinity Stress in Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Global food production is seriously threatened by salinity stress, which becoming more severe due to human activity. For the majority of people worldwide, mungbean a significant pulse crop and rich source protein calories hence rightly marked as “Poor man’s meat” “rich vegetables”. Salt on other hand, negatively affects productivity since it causes decreased germination, reduced growth development, interrupted photosynthesis, hormonal imbalance eventually yields. Consequently, developing mitigation strategies deal with salt stress requires greater understanding how plants respond stress. The present review highlights detrimental effects physiological biochemical tolerance mechanisms in mungbean.
