Soil salinization and/or alkalization is a major constraint to crop production worldwide. Approximately 60% of the cultivated land is affected by salt, over half of which is alkalized. Alkaline soils are characterized by high alkalinity and typically high salinity, which creates a complex saline-alkaline (SA) stress that affects plant growth. Rice cultivation has been accepted as an important strategy for effective utilization of SA land if water is available for irrigation. Nevertheless, as a salt-sensitive plant, rice plants suffer severe SA-induced damage, which results in poor plant growth and grain yield. Various approaches have been employed to improve rice productivity in SA land. Among them, the priming technique has emerged as a powerful method for enhancing SA tolerance in rice plants. In this review, we summarized how SA stress damages rice plants, and then presented how priming treatment can mitigate such damage.
