Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Agricultural productivity is majorly impacted due to various abiotic stresses, particularly salinity and drought. Halophytes serve as an excellent resource for identifying and developing new crop systems, as these grow very luxuriously in very high saline soils. Understanding salinity stress tolerance mechanisms in such plants is an important step towards generating crop varieties that can cope with environmental stresses. Use of modern tools of 'omics' analyses and small RNA sequencing has helped to gain insights into the complex plant stress responses. Salinity tolerance being a multigenic trait requires a combination of strategies and techniques to successfully develop improved crops varieties. Many transgenic crops are being developed through genetic transformation. Besides marker-assisted breeding/QTL approaches are also being used to improve abiotic stress tolerance. In this review, we focus on the recent developments in the utilization of halophytes as a source of genes for genetic improvement in abiotic stress tolerance of crops. © 2012 Society for Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology.
