Abstract
Salinity is one of the major environmental stress which acts as a limiting factors apparently limiting the plant growth, development and productivity of the plants. Salinity is widespread or prevalent in the inundated and dry regions. Plant responses to salinity depend on the extent of revelation to salinity circumstances. Salt stress has been reported to bring severe damage to the vital physiological processes in plant and limit the minerals and nutrient uptake. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is known to be salt-sensitive crop thus various studies have been conducted to observe the responses of strawberry varieties or cultivars to the salinity. This review is a brief compilation of reaction of strawberry varieties to the stress given by salt, showing different levels of properties. It discusses about how salinity influences the growth, ion accumulation, proline content, protein synthesis, stomatal conductance, and relative water content (RWC) etc in the strawberry plants.
