Plants face a variety of abiotic stresses, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and
ultimately obstruct normal growth and development of plants. To prevent cellular damage …

Salinity is an important environmental constraint to crop productivity in arid and semi-arid
regions of the world. Most crop plants, including tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., are …

Background Salinity is one of the most challenging abiotic stresses restricting the growth of
plants. In vitro screening will increase the efficiency and speed of salinity tolerant genotypes …

The use of in vitro shoot cultures to evaluate osmotic and salt tolerance and the effects of salt
and mannitol in the medium on proline and sugar accumulation were investigated in two …

Novel strategic green approaches are urgently needed to raise the performance of plants
subjected to stress. Two field-level experimental attempts were implemented during two …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

Salt stress is one of the major constraints hampering agricultural production owing to its
impact on ethylene production and nutritional imbalance. A check on the accelerated …

Abiotic Stresses explores innovative methods for breeding new varieties of major crops with
resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production worldwide, such as drought …

Overexpression of the HAL1 gene in yeast has a positive effect on salt tolerance by
maintaining a high internal K+ concentration and decreasing intracellular Na+ during salt …

Background Excessive soil salinity is an important problem for agriculture, however, salt
tolerance is a complex trait that is not easily bred into plants. Exposure of cultivated tomato …
