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 …

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

Thirty crop species provide 90% of our food, most of which display severe yield losses under
moderate salinity. Securing and augmenting agricultural yield in times of global warming …

Salinity is a leading threat to crop growth throughout the world. Salt stress induces altered
physiological processes and several inhibitory effects on the growth of cereals, including …

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 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 …

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 …
