Time‐dependent kinetics of xylem Na+ loading was investigated using a large number of
barley genotypes contrasting in their salinity tolerance. Salt‐sensitive varieties were less …

Salt sensitive (pea) and salt tolerant (barley) species were used to understand the
physiological basis of differential salinity tolerance in crops. Pea plants were much more …

Control of xylem Na+ loading has often been named as the essential component of salinity
tolerance mechanism. However, it is less clear to what extent the difference in this trait may …

Brassica species are known to possess significant inter and intraspecies variability in salinity
stress tolerance, but the cell-specific mechanisms conferring this difference remain elusive …

Control of ion loading into the xylem has been repeatedly named as a crucial factor
determining plant salt tolerance. In this study we further investigate this issue by applying a …

Background Salinity is a global issue threatening agricultural production systems across the
globe. While the major focus of plant salinity stress tolerance research has been on sodium …

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 …

Although control of xylem ion loading is essential to confer salinity stress tolerance, specific
details behind this process remain elusive. In this work, we compared the kinetics of xylem …

Soil salinity is an increasing menace that affects agriculture across the globe. Plant
adaptation to high salt concentrations involves integrated functions, including control of Na+ …

While the importance of cell type specificity in plant adaptive responses is widely accepted,
only a limited number of studies have addressed this issue at the functional level. We have …
