The chloride concentration in the plant determines yield and quality formation for two
reasons. First, chlorine is a mineral nutrient and deficiencies thereof induce metabolic …

Chlorine (Cl) occurs predominantly as Cl-in soil and plant. It is an essential micronutrient of
higher plants and participates in several physiological metabolism processes. Its functions in …

Natural inputs of chlorine (Cl) to soils come mainly from rainwater, sea spray, dust and air
pollution. In addition, human practices, such as irrigation and fertilization, contribute …

Chlorine is important for the fertility of soils being a nutrient for crops. However,
anthropogenic activities often lead to excessive accumulation of the anion of chlorine,(Cl−) …

The dependence of modern agriculture on irrigation and chemical fertilization emphasizes
the problem of chloride accumulation in soils and its adverse effect on plants rather than on …

Chloride: not simply a ‘cheap osmoticum’, but a beneficial plant macronutrient | Journal of
Experimental Botany | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content Advertisement Oxford …

Soil salinity affects large areas of the world's cultivated land, causing significant reductions
in crop yield. Despite the fact that most plants accumulate both sodium (Na+) and chloride …

Chloride (Cl−) has traditionally been considered a micronutrient largely excluded by plants
due to its ubiquity and abundance in nature, its antagonism with nitrate (NO3−), and its …

Chloride tends to accumulate in tissues, particularly leaves, of some plants to toxic levels.
Chloride accumulation in plants is closely related to Cl concentration in the external solution …

Abstract Chloride (Cl−), traditionally considered harmful for agriculture, has recently been
defined as a beneficial macronutrient with specific roles that result in more efficient use of …
