Soil salinization is an essential environmental stressor, threating agricultural yield and
ecological security worldwide. Saline soils accumulate excessive soluble salts which are …

Ionic stress is one of the most important components of salinity and is brought about by
excess Na+ accumulation, especially in the aerial parts of plants. Since Na+ interferes with …

Soil salinization is a major threat to agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions, where water
scarcity and inadequate drainage of irrigated lands severely reduce crop yield. Salt …

plant Ca2+‐permeable ion channels 50 III. Ca2+ extrusion systems 61 IV. Concluding …

Crop performance is severely affected by high salt concentrations in soils. To engineer more
salt-tolerant plants it is crucial to unravel the key components of the plant salt-tolerance …

Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) is an essential macronutrient as well as a second messenger in
diverse biological processes in plants. Plants perceive various stimuli which leads to …

Ca2+ signals are core transducers and regulators in many adaptation and developmental
processes of plants. Ca2+ signals are represented by stimulus-specific signatures that result …

Crop plants are subjected to a variety of stresses during their lifecycle, including abiotic
stress factors such as salinity and biotic stress factors such as pathogens. Plants have …

Potassium (K+) and nitrogen (N) are essential nutrients, and their absorption and distribution
within the plant must be coordinated for optimal growth and development. Potassium is …

Highlights•Coordinated calcium transport processes produce Ca 2+ signatures in plant
cells.•Magnesium transporters acquire and distribute Mg 2+ throughout the plant.•CBL-CIPK …
