“…Studies of the effects of salt and water stresses are frequently treated separately, (Adhikari et al, 2020; Ahmad et al, 2017; Akram et al, 2018; Kamran et al, 2019; Khan, Zhang, Luo, Liu, Rizwan, et al, 2019b; Safdar et al, 2019), even though they are closely interrelated, resulting in detrimental impacts in overall plant growth and productivity as a plant responses to biotic stresses (Kamran et al, 2019; Parida & Das, 2005; Rana, Hu, et al, 2020; Zaheer, Ali, Saleem, Noor, et al, 2020). However, some halophytes show resistance to water‐deficient conditions, and do not reduce their plant growth and biomass productivity when grown under drought conditions (Saad et al, 2010) and can survive in very saline environments (Parihar et al, 2015; Safdar et al, 2019).…”
