Salt stress causes decrease in plant growth and productivity by disrupting physiological
processes, especially photosynthesis. The accumulation of intracellular sodium ions at salt …

One of the challenges being faced by the fruit crop production globally is that regional
climate regimes are becoming more unpredictable every year. The exact impact of these …

When plants are grown under saline conditions, photosynthetic activity decreases leading to
reduced plant growth, leaf area, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence. Seeds …

Soil salinity affects various physiological and biochemical processes which result in reduced
biomass production. This adverse effect of salt stress appears on whole plant level at almost …

Abiotic stresses are important constraints limiting crop productivity worldwide. Salinity is one
of the most devastating environmental factors restraining the production of crops. It is …

It is more important to improve the salt tolerance of crops in a salinized world with the
situations of increasing populations, declining crop yields, and a decrease in agricultural …

Field-based trials are crucial for successfully achieving the goals of plant breeding programs
aiming to screen and improve the salt tolerance of crop genotypes. In this study, simulated …

Salinity and drought stress, singly or in combination, are major environmental menaces.
Jatropha curcas L. is a biodiesel plant that can tolerate long periods of drought. However …

Salinity affects plant growth by the osmotic stress of the salt around the roots as well as by
toxicity caused by excessive accumulation of salt in leaves. The aim of this study was to …

Seedlings of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea capitata L.) were
grown in sand culture at salinities of 0 (control), 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl to determine the …
