Abstract: Cloning functional salt-alkali tolerance genes of halophytes plant is the key for understanding the molecular mechanism of plant salt-alkali tolerance, and breeding new salt-alkali tolerant plants. Alkaligrass (Puccinellia), as a excellent pasture and valuable halophytes germplasm, provides us with a wealth of salt-alkali tolerance genes. By cloning the salt-alkali stress-induced genes of Alkaligrass, and analyzing their structure, function and expression, we not only possibly breed new salt-alkali tolerance GM plants, but also provie theory support for the improvement of saline soil. So, the present paper summarizes the advancement in the research on salt-alkali tolerance genes.
