简介
The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level. Plant growth responds to salinity in two phases: a rapid, osmotic phase that inhibits growth of young leaves, and a slower, ionic phase that accelerates senescence of mature leaves. Plant adaptations to salinity are of three distinct types: osmotic stress tolerance, Na+ or Cl− exclusion, and the tolerance of tissue to accumulated Na+ or Cl−. Our understanding of the role of the HKT gene family in Na+ exclusion from leaves is increasing, as is the understanding of the molecular bases for many other transport processes at the cellular level. However, we have a limited molecular understanding of the overall control of Na+ accumulation and of osmotic stress tolerance at the whole-plant level. Molecular genetics and functional genomics provide a new …
