Özet

In many areas of the world, soil salinization is an important concern for the sustainability of irrigated agriculture and accounts for large decreases in the yield of a wide variety of crops. Numerous attempts have been employed to optimize plant growth under saline conditions. One of them is to produce salt tolerant genotypes in different crops by traditional breeding. In addition, many other attempts have been made to overcome this disorder by exogenous application of plant growth regulators. Plant hormones are active members of the signal compounds involved in the induction of plant stress responses. Jasmonic acid (JA), which is naturally synthesized by plants, plays an important role as a signal molecule that induces the tolerance mechanisms under the influence of both biotic and abiotic stresses.
