Abstract: In order to make further clarifications of salt tolerance indexes of peanut and improve screening efficiency of salt-tolerant germplasm, thus facilitate the development of new salt-tolerant peanut varieties, the author summarized the research progress of salt tolerance of peanut from three aspects: (1) the impact of salt stress on plant growth and physiological and biochemical indexes; (2) the identification methods and evaluation indexes in salt tolerance; (3) the screening of excellent salt-tolerant germplasm. By pointing out that current identification indexes and evaluation methods used in determining the salt tolerance of peanut were not comprehensive or accurate enough, in this paper, we proposed feasible suggestions regarding aforementioned limitations for the future research, and stated the importance of the establishment of salt tolerance evaluation system. In consideration of wide field adaptability of selected germplasm, resistances to both salt and alkali were also included in this paper for its respective importance.
