Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. (commonly known as bermudagrass) is a member of the family Poaceae. It C4 grass that can grow annually and perennially with clone reproduction seed-setting. not only used forage but also weed in many crops. grows along roadsides, barren lands, irrigated seacoasts, where soil salinity major problem. Although bermudagrass distributed worldwide, it shows limited growth under saline conditions. Under salt stress, whole-plant disturbed quality compromised morphologically. At physiological level, shoot development affected owing to resultant oxidative although total rate photosynthesis greatly affected. Biochemical changes include change K+/Na+ ratio; antioxidant enzymes such superoxide dismutase peroxide increase, while catalase activity slows down. The anatomical are visible crystals on leaf surface glands mesophyll surface. In this paper, morphological, physiological, biochemical, proteomic mechanisms stress discussed, drawing study several genes ECA4, RAN1, MHX1, psbA1, psbB1, psbP, psbY at molecular level. Therefore, current review aims understand how adapts well
