Abstract

Sulphur-containing compounds are organic compounds that promote, inhibit, or modify physiological processes under abiotic stress conditions even in small amounts in plants. Modulation of these compounds could provide tolerance against salinity stress. The role of sulphur-containing compounds in the protection against abiotic stress is played by its ability to induce expression of genes coding specific proteins. These wide varieties of compounds can induce stress tolerance by modulating physiological, and biochemical processes as well as molecular mechanisms. The present review gives an insight into the role of sulphur-containing compounds in inducing various physiological responses in plants under salinity stress.
