In a Perspective, Frommer and colleagues discuss how genetic engineering can be used to confer salt tolerance on plants ( see Apse et al.) and explore the implications of this feat for improving crop production in developing countries.en500 - Science::580 - Plants (Botany)article10.7892/boris.8285910.1126/science.285.5431.1222
