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 …

Main conclusion There is a need to integrate conceptual framework based on the current
understanding of salt stress responses with different approaches for manipulating and …

Soil and water salinity substantially constrain crop and biomass production. Research over
the last two plus decades, facilitated by advances in molecular genetics and biotechnology …

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient in plants and a lack of K+ significantly reduces
the potential for plant growth and development. By contrast, sodium (Na+), while beneficial …

Abiotic stress is the major threat confronted by modern‐day agriculture. Salinity is one of the
major abiotic stresses that influence geographical distribution, survival, and productivity of …

Soils contain both organic and inorganic P compounds. Sources of soil organic Pi includes
floral residues, dead and decaying fauna, and microbial matter (cells and metabolic …

Plant productivity is determined in large part by the partitioning of assimilates between the
sites of production and the sites of utilization. Proton-pumping pyrophosphatases (H+ …

Phloem loading is a critical process in plant physiology. The potential of regulating the
translocation of photoassimilates from source to sink tissues represents an opportunity to …

Abstract Plant nitrate (NO3−) acquisition depends on the combined activities of root high-
and low-affinity NO3− transporters and the proton gradient generated by the plasma …

Methyl jasmonate (Me JA) elicits stomatal closure in many plant species. Stomatal closure is
accompanied by large ion fluxes across the plasma membrane (PM). Here, we recorded the …
