Salinized land is slowly spreading across the world. Reduced crop yields and quality due to
salt stress threaten the ability to feed a growing population. We discussed the mechanisms …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which impose constraints to plant growth and
production. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops and a model …

Key message This review presents a comprehensive overview of the recent research on rice
salt tolerance in the areas of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and chemical genomics …

Although not essential for most plants, sodium (Na+) can be beneficial to plants in many
conditions, particularly when potassium (K+) is deficient. As such it can be regarded a 'non …

This study aimed to reveal the mechanistic basis of the melatonin‐mediated amelioration of
salinity stress in plants. Electrophysiological experiments revealed that melatonin decreased …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Early detection of salt stress is vital for plant survival and growth. Still, the molecular
processes controlling early salt stress perception and signaling are not fully understood …

When exposed to salt, every plant takes up Na+ from the environment. Once in the symplast,
Na+ is distributed within cells and between different tissues and organs. There it can help to …

Salt stress can significantly affect plant growth and agricultural productivity. Receptor-like
kinases (RLKs) are believed to play essential roles in plant growth, development, and …

Alkaline stress (high pH) severely damages root cells, and consequently, inhibits rice (Oryza
sativa L.) seedling growth. In this study, we demonstrate the accumulation of reactive oxygen …
