Abstract

Abstact: Breeding and cultivating salt-tolerant rice holds crucial strategic significance for the comprehensive and efficient utilization of saline-alkali land and the safeguarding of national food security. This paper provides a systematic review of the impacts of salt-alkali stress on rice yield and quality traits, delves into the technologies for mapping and cloning genes/QTLs related to salt tolerance in rice, and summarizes the research progress in the genetic improvement of salt-tolerant rice varieties. On this basis, it offers an outlook on the research directions and application prospects of new salt-tolerant rice varieties in the future.
