Salinity is a major threat to modern agriculture causing inhibition and impairment of crop
growth and development. Here, we not only review recent advances in salinity stress …

In the era present, due to increasing incidences of a large number of different biotic and
abiotic stresses all over the world, the growth of plants (principal crops) may be restrained by …

Background Halophytes are the flora of saline soils. They adjust osmotically to soil salinity
by accumulating ions and sequestering the vast majority of these (generally Na+ and Cl−) in …

Drought and salinity are the main abiotic stresses limiting crop yield and quality worldwide.
Improving food production in drought-and salt-prone areas is the key to meet the increasing …

Although deemed a “non-essential” mineral nutrient, silicon (Si) is clearly beneficial to plant
growth and development, particularly under stress conditions, including salinity and drought …

Soil salinity and drought are major abiotic factors that limit crop growth and productivity
worldwide. Indeed, soil salinity and drought disrupt the cellular ionic and osmotic balance …

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 …

Although silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, it is not
considered an essential element for plant nutrition. However, both research results and …

Salinity stress hinders the growth potential and productivity of crop plants by influencing
photosynthesis, disturbing the osmotic and ionic concentrations, producing excessive …

In salinized soils in which chloride (Cl−) is the dominant salt anion, growth of plants that
tolerate only low concentrations of salt (glycophytes) is disturbed by Cl− toxicity. Chlorotic …
