Crop yield loss due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. Salt
stress drastically affects the growth, development, and grain productivity of rice (Oryza sativa …

Approximately 5.2 billion hectare agriculture land are affected by erosion, salinity and soil
degradation. Salinity stress has significantly affecting the fertile lands, and therefore …

Abiotic stresses are the foremost limiting factors for agricultural productivity. Crop plants
need to cope up adverse external pressure created by environmental and edaphic …

Halophytes are defined as plants that are adapted to live in soils containing high
concentrations of salt and benefiting from it, and thus represent an ideal model to …

Soil salinity is established as one of the major environmental problems, decreasing crop
productivity worldwide, thereby threatening sustainable agriculture. In the present study, we …

Background Global annual losses in agricultural production from salt-affected land are in
excess of US $12 billion and rising. At the same time, a significant amount of arable land is …

Intracellular potassium homeostasis is a prerequisite for the optimal operation of plant
metabolic machinery and plant's overall performance. It is controlled by K+ uptake, efflux …

World population is expected to reach 9.2× 109 people by 2050. Feeding them will require a
boost in crop productivity using innovative approaches. Current agricultural production is …

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 and water salinity substantially constrain crop and biomass production. Research over
the last two plus decades, facilitated by advances in molecular genetics and biotechnology …
