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 …

This review deals with the adaptive mechanisms that plants can implement to cope with the
challenge of salt stress. Plants tolerant to NaCl implement a series of adaptations to …

Starch is a significant store of sugars, and the starch-sugar interconversion in source and
sink tissues plays a profound physiological role in all plants. In this review, we discuss how …

The use of soil and irrigation water with a high content of soluble salts is a major limiting
factor for crop productivity in the semi-arid areas of the world. While important physiological …

Abstract Effect of grain soaking presowing in 1 mM salicylic acid (SA) and NaCl (0, 50, 100,
150 and 200 mM) on barley (Hordeum vulgare cv Gerbel) was studied. Increasing of NaCl …

The effect of 10-2 M salicylic acid (SA) on the counteracting of the NaCl (50, 100 and 150
mM)-induced deleterious effects on maize (Zea mays L.) cultivar was studied. Effects of SA …

Following exposure to salinity, the root/shoot ratio is increased (an important adaptive
response) due to the rapid inhibition of shoot growth (which limits plant productivity) while …

The impact of salinity on the physiological and biochemical parameters of tolerant ('Bonica')
and susceptible ('Black Beauty') eggplant varieties (Solanum melongena L.) was …

Extracellular invertase is the key enzyme of an apoplasmic phloem unloading pathway and
catalyses the hydrolytic cleavage of the transport sugar sucrose released into the apoplast …

Salinity is one of the main environmental stresses, and it affects potato growth and
productivity in arid and semiarid regions by disturbing physiological process, such as the …
