Cereals are the most important plants in the world that play an important role in human and animal nutrition. The highest area of ​​crop cultivation in the world is related to cereals such as wheat, rice and maize, which have recently been reduced due to salinity of water and soil resources and/or water defifict. However, world food security depends on cereals production, so we must look for ways to increase grain production in saline and dry conditions and thus provide food security to the growing world population. Much research has been done on cereals salinity and drought tolerance for a long time, and many tolerant varieties have been released, however many aspects are still unknown and require further evaluation. In this special issue, we seek the latest findings on salinity and drought tolerance mechanisms and strategies to increase grain production.

Topics

1. Physiological, biochemical and morphological mechanisms of salt and drought stress tolerance in cereals
2. Breeding for selecting or release salt and drought tolerance genotypes in cereals
3. New approaches for increasing quantity and quality of cereals under saline and dry conditions
4. Agronomic practical for increase yield and improving tolerance of cereals in saline and dry regions
5. Introducing and evaluating halophytic and xerophytes grasses with potential to be in the production chain
6. Introducing and evaluating tolerant synthetic cereals such as triticale and tritipyrum
7. Sustainable use of saline water and soil in cereals cultivation
8. Feeding value of cereals grown in saline and dry conditions
