Agriculture is expanding into regions that are affected by salinity. This review considers the
energetic costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants and provides a framework for a …

This review focuses on the regulation of root water uptake in plants which are exposed to
salt stress. Root water uptake is not considered in isolation but is viewed in the context of …

Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

Background Limitation of plant productivity by phosphorus (P) supply is widespread and will
probably increase in the future. Relatively large amounts of P fertilizer are applied to sustain …

Plants show varied cellular responses to salinity that are partly associated with maintaining
low cytosolic Na+ levels and a high K+/Na+ ratio. Plant metabolites change with elevated …

Background Plants contain relatively few cell types, each contributing a specialized role in
sha** plant function. With respect to plant nutrition, different cell types accumulate certain …

Plant cells contain two major pools of K+, one in the vacuole and one in the cytosol. The
behavior of K+ concentrations in these pools is fundamental to understanding the way this …

Cellular compartmentation of Zn in the leaves of the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens
was investigated using energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis and single-cell sap extraction …

This review focuses on the role of two distinct fitness strategies in the growth, survival, and
epidemiology of foliar bacterial pathogens. A tolerance strategy requires the ability to …

Potassium (K) is the most abundant inorganic cation in plants. It is required for the activation
of many enzymes, as a cellular osmoticum for rapidly expanding cells, and as a counter …
