General overview of salt induced effects and plats response: Plants face osmotic and ionic stress under salt stress which enhances ROS production and subsequent oxidation of bio molecules, causing irreversible damage to plants. ROS also acts as stress indicator and its enhanced concentration activates downstream processes, like increased antioxidant activity, osmolytes which scavenges ROS and plants show normal growth. In ROS signaling, hormones and calcium play an important role. Some of the halophytes switch their carbon assimilation mode from C3 to C4 or CAM and vice versa.
