Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

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 …

The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components
of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level. Plant growth …

Crop performance is severely affected by high salt concentrations in soils. To engineer more
salt-tolerant plants it is crucial to unravel the key components of the plant salt-tolerance …

Agricultural production continues to be constrained by a number of biotic and abiotic factors
that can reduce crop yield quantity and quality. Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient that …

Highlights•Three main traits are involved in salt tolerance: ion exclusion, tissue tolerance
and osmotic tolerance.•Numerous genes encoding salt tolerance traits are likely to …

Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

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 …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that results in considerable crop yield losses worldwide.
However, some plant genotypes show a high tolerance to soil salinity, as they manage to …
