Understanding the Harmful Effects and Coping Strategies of Salinity Stress in Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Abstract

Salinity stress is a major hazard to the world's food supply and is becoming worse as a result of human activities. Mungbean is 
appropriately referred to as "poor man's meat" and "rich man's vegetables" since it is an important pulse crop and a rich source 
of protein and calories for most people globally. On the other side, salt stress has a detrimental effect on mungbean production 
because it results in hormonal imbalance, impaired growth and development, decreased germination, interrupted photosynthesis, 
and ultimately lower yields. Therefore, a better knowledge of how plants react to salinity stress is necessary to design mitigation 
measures to cope with salt stress. The negative impacts of salt stress and the physiological and biochemical tolerance mechanisms 
in mungbean are highlighted in this study.
