Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Land plants are exposed to not only biotic stresses such as pathogen infection and
herbivore wounding, but abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and salt. Elaborate …

Abiotic stresses, such as low or high temperature, deficient or excessive water, high salinity,
heavy metals, and ultraviolet radiation, are hostile to plant growth and development, leading …

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 …

Salinity stress is a major threat to global food production and its intensity is continuously
increasing because of anthropogenic activities. Wheat is a staple food and a source of …

Plant roots must exclude almost all of the Na+ and Cl–in saline soil while taking up water,
otherwise these ions would build up to high concentrations in leaves. Plants evaporate c. 50 …

Soil salinization is a major threat to agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions, where water
scarcity and inadequate drainage of irrigated lands severely reduce crop yield. Salt …

Soil salinity reduces crop yield. The extent and severity of salt‐affected agricultural land is
predicted to worsen as a result of inadequate drainage of irrigated land, rising water tables …

Background Salinity is a global issue threatening agricultural production systems across the
globe. While the major focus of plant salinity stress tolerance research has been on sodium …

In this review we summarize factors determining the plant availability of soil potassium (K),
the role of K in crop yield formation and product quality, and the dependence of crop stress …
