Salt stress is a major environmental factor limiting plant growth and productivity. A better
understanding of the mechanisms mediating salt resistance will help researchers design …

As sessile organisms, plants must cope with abiotic stress such as soil salinity, drought, and
extreme temperatures. Core stress-signaling pathways involve protein kinases related to the …

In plants dehydration imposed by salinity can invoke physical changes at the interface of the
plasma membrane and cell wall. Changes in hydrostatic pressure activate ion channels and …

Guard cells form stomatal pores that optimize photosynthetic carbon dioxide uptake with
minimal water loss. Stomatal movements are controlled by complex signaling networks that …

Abiotic stress is the major threat confronted by modern‐day agriculture. Salinity is one of the
major abiotic stresses that influence geographical distribution, survival, and productivity of …

Key message We describe here the recent developments about the involvement of diverse
stress-related proteins in sensing, signaling, and defending the cells in plants in response to …

Saline-alkali soil is a major environmental constraint impairing plant growth and crop
productivity. In this study, we identified a Ca2+ sensor/kinase/plasma membrane (PM) H+ …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), a member of the Paniceae family, is a temperate and tropical
grass species that is widely cultivated on the Eurasian continent. It is Chinese in origin and …

Background Alfalfa is the most extensively cultivated forage legume. Salinity is a major
environmental factor that impacts on alfalfa's productivity. However, little is known about the …

Melatonin mediates many physiological processes in plants. We investigated its role in
regulating growth, potassium uptake, and root system architecture under three types of …
