Key message Woody plants have salt-tolerant mechanisms similar to those developed by
non-woody plants. Among others, compartmentalization of ions, production of compatible …

Key message Our manuscript discussed salt tolerance mechanisms in trees, genes
associated with salt stress tolerance, methods to improve the salt tolerance of trees, and …

Salt stress (SS) has become an important factor limiting afforestation programs. Because of
their salt tolerance and fully sequenced genomes, poplars (Populus spp.) are used as model …

Saline and sodic soils that cannot be used for agriculture occur worldwide. Cultivating stress‐
tolerant trees to obtain biomass from salinized areas has been suggested. Various tree …

Abiotic stress tolerance is important for trees that have to withstand unfavorable
environmental condi-tions for longer periods of time than crop plants with short life cycles …

Three major themes related to the improvement of salt tolerance in forest tree species are
examined. First, evidence demonstrating that substantial intraspecific variation in salt …

Studying salt stress is an important means to the understanding of plant ion homeostasis
and osmo-balance. Salt stress research also benefits agriculture because soil salinity …

Salinity is an important abiotic environmental stress factor threatening agricultural
productivity throughout the world. The detrimental effects of salinity stress are observed at …

To investigate early salt acclimation mechanisms in a salt-tolerant poplar species (Populus
euphratica), the kinetics of molecular, metabolic, and physiological changes during a 24-h …
