Despite the numerous advances made in our understanding of the physiology and
molecular genetics of salinity tolerance, there have been relatively few applications of these …

To face future challenges in crop production dictated by global climate changes, breeders
and plant researchers collaborate to develop productive crops that are able to withstand a …

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 …

Due to the high market demand for off-season vegetables and the limited availability of
arable land, vegetable seedlings are cultivated under changing environmental conditions …

In this paper, a number of strategies to overcome the deleterious effects of salinity on plants
will be reviewed; these strategies include using molecular markers and genetic …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that reduce plant growth and crop productivity in
many vegetable production areas of the world. Grafting can represent an interesting tool to …

Grafting is a centuries-old technique used in plants to obtain economic benefits. Grafting
increases nutrient uptake and utilization efficiency in a number of plant species, including …

We have identified a plasma membrane Na+/H+ antiporter gene from tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum), SlSOS1, and used heterologous expression in yeast to confirm that SlSOS1 …

People have grafted plants since antiquity for propagation, to increase yields, and to
improve stress tolerance. This cutting and joining of tissues activates an incredible …

The possibility of applying grafting to improve fruit quality has been scarcely investigated.
Different shoot tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) genotypes were grafted onto distinctly …
