Abiotic factors, particularly in the circumstances of a changing global ambiance, present significant challenge to agricultural production. Salinity is a crucial element that adversely affects both the quality and amount of rice production. Soil salinity source significant impair to the ecosystem by reducing biodiversity, causing erosion, lessen productivity, degrading water quality, abate soil fertility and increasing the concentrations of toxic ions. In the world, rice is one of the most important crop, furnish a foremost food for one-third of the world population. Salinity is a tremendous abiotic stress that impacts rice production, particularly in coastal areas. In rice productiveness salt effects by multifaceted. Salinity stress in rice at seedling stage affects seedling vigor, germination index, dry shoot, seedling height and root weight and often salt stress during seedling stage usually leads to death. In rice at reproductive stage salinity affects yield parameters such as spikelet number per panicle, panicle length, grain yield, flowering and delays panicle emergence. The investigation highlights the significance of cooperative endeavour across numerous disciplines, amalgamation of advanced phenotyping, sophisticated genotyping, inclusive breeding practices and genomic technologies to foster sustainable and climate-resilient rice farming.
