Understanding the mechanisms of sodium (Na+) influx, effective compartmentalization, and
efflux in higher plants is crucial to manipulate Na+ accumulation and assure the …

Since sodium, Na, is a non-essential element for the plant growth, the molecular mechanism
of Na+ transport system in plants has remained elusive for the last two decades. The …

Adaptation of plants to salt stress requires cellular ion homeostasis involving net intracellular
Na+ and Cl− uptake and subsequent vacuolar compartmentalization without toxic ion …

The ability of plant cells to maintain low cytosolic sodium concentrations is an essential
process associated with the ability of plants to grow in high salt concentrations. Recent …

When exposed to salt, every plant takes up Na+ from the environment. Once in the symplast,
Na+ is distributed within cells and between different tissues and organs. There it can help to …

Although not essential for most plants, sodium (Na+) can be beneficial to plants in many
conditions, particularly when potassium (K+) is deficient. As such it can be regarded a 'non …

Soil salinity affects vast areas of land globally, with a particularly high impact in some
agricultural intensively used soils due to irrigation practice. A diverse range of plants is able …

Salinity is a global challenge to agricultural production. Understanding Na+ sensing and
transport in plants under salt stress will be of benefit for breeding robustly salt-tolerant crop …

Soil salinity represents an increasing threat to agricultural production. High sodium (Na+)
concentrations in soils are toxic to most higher plants. More than 40% of irrigated lands …

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 …
