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 …

Saline-alkali stress is a widespread adversity that severely affects plant growth and
productivity. Saline-alkaline soils are characterized by high salt content and high pH values …

Viticulture is facing emerging challenges not only because of the effect of climate change on
yield and composition of grapes, but also of a social demand for environmental‐friendly …

The sodium cation (Na+) is the predominant cation with deleterious effects on crops in salt‐
affected agricultural areas. Salt tolerance of crop can be improved by increasing shoot Na+ …

High salinity induces osmotic stress and often leads to sodium ion‐specific toxicity, with
inhibitory effects on physiological, biochemical and developmental pathways. To cope with …

The necessity to adapt to climate change is even stronger for grapevine than for other crops,
because grape berry composition—a key determinant of fruit and wine quality, typicity and …

Salinity, which is predominantly an issue for agricultural systems in arid and semi‐arid
regions, has the potential to impair grape production and wine quality, and its impact on the …

Soil salinity has become one of the major factors that threaten tall fescue growth and turf
quality. Plants recruit diverse microorganisms in the rhizosphere to cope with salinity stress …

HKT channels are a plant protein family involved in sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+)
uptake and Na+-K+ homeostasis. Some HKTs underlie salt tolerance responses in plants …

Research into crop yield and resilience has underpinned global food security, evident in
yields tripling in the past 5 decades. The challenges that global agriculture now faces are …
