Improper use of water resources in irrigation that contain a significant amount of salts, faulty
agronomic practices such as improper fertilization, climate change etc. are gradually …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

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 …

To avoid loss of yield, crops must maintain tissue potassium (K) concentrations above 5–40
mg K (g DM)–1. The supply of K from the soil is often insufficient to meet this demand and, in …

Globally, chickpea production is severely affected by salinity stress. Understanding the
genetic basis for salinity tolerance is important to develop salinity tolerant chickpeas. A …

Lucerne (alfalfa, Medicago sativa L.) is a forage legume that is widely cultivated in arid and
semi-arid regions of the world. The main aim of this review was to highlight the effects of salt …

The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition.
However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high …

Salinity is one of major abiotic stresses limiting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) production in the
arid and semi-arid regions in US and other counties. In this study, we used a diverse panel …

Abstract Background Although chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an important food legume crop,
is sensitive to salinity, considerable variation for salinity tolerance exists in the germplasm …

Drought and salinity are two frequently combined abiotic stresses that affect plant growth,
development, and crop productivity. Sulfate, and molecules derived from this anion such as …
