Natural and/or human-caused salinization of soils has become a growing problem in the
world, and salinization endangers agro-ecosystems by causing salt stress in most cultivated …

In this recent era, several approaches have been developed to alleviate the adverse effects
of salinity stress in different plants. However, some of them are not eco-friendly. In this …

Soil salinity is an important environmental problem that seriously affects plant growth and
crop productivity. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective solution for reducing soil salinity and …

Abiotic stresses are the dominant constraints to successful crop production in the modern
era. Over the past few decades, researchers have devised various techniques to ease the …

Ion transport is crucial for salt tolerance in plants. Under salt stress, the high-affinity K+
transporter (HKT) family is mainly responsible for the long-distance transport of salt ions …

In rice, the high-affinity K+ transporter, OsHKT1; 3, functions as a Na+-selective transporter.
mRNA variants of OsHKT1; 3 have been reported previously, but their functions remain …

Background High-affinity potassium transporters (HKTs) are crucial in facilitating potassium
uptake by plants. Many types of HKTs confer salt tolerance to plants through regulating K+ …

The HKT‐type proteins have been extensively studied and have been shown to play
important roles in long‐distance Na+ transport, maintaining ion homoeostasis and improving …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibit the growth, development, and
productivity of crops, particularly in hot and dry areas of the world. It is an intensive topic on …

Nitraria sibirica Pall is a halophytic shrub growing in desert steppe zones. It exhibits
extraordinary adaptability to saline–alkali soil, drought, and sand burial. In this study, the …
