Pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings were grown in half strength Hoagland solution and
exposed to 0, 10, 25mM NaCl and 2.5% PEG 6000 for 1 week (pre-treatment). Thereafter …

Plants exposure to low level salinity activates an array of processes leading to an
improvement of plant stress tolerance. Although the beneficial effect of acclimation was …

Populus euphratica Olivier is known to exist in saline and arid environments. In this study we
investigated the physiological mechanisms enabling this species to cope with stress caused …

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 …

Physiological and molecular mechanisms of adaptation to abiotic stresses of grass pea
(Lathyrus sativus L.) are still poorly understood. Responses of four genotypes of grass pea …

Soil salinity is abiotic stress which adversely influences on growth, overall development and
productivity of plants. The plant response to salinity consists of numerous morphological and …

Sodium (Na+) uptake into the halophyte quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) plants was
compared with the uptake into pea (Pisum sativum L.), and related to changes in cytosolic …

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 …

Understanding the mechanisms of plant tolerance to osmotic and chemical stress is
fundamental to maintaining high crop productivity. Soil drought often occurs in combination …

□ Growth and nutrient acquisition of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) cv 'Amani'were
studied under induced salt stress in Hoagland's solution. The plants were treated for 37 days …
