Salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting approximately 7% of the world's total land area
resulting in billion dollar losses in crop production around the globe. Recent progress in …

Abstract MicroRNA319 (miR319) is one of the first characterized and conserved microRNA
families in plants and has been demonstrated to target TCP (for TEOSINTE BRANCHED …

Soil salinity, one of the major abiotic stresses reducing agricultural productivity, affects large
terrestrial areas of the world; the need to produce salt-tolerant crops is evident. Two main …

Increasing soil salinity is a serious threat to agricultural productions worldwide in the 21st
century. Several essential Na+ transporters such as AtNHX1 and AtSOS1 function in Na+ …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Sodium (Na) toxicity is one of the most formidable challenges for crop production world‐
wide. Nevertheless, despite decades of intensive research, the pathways of Na+ entry into …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

When exposed to salt, every plant takes up Na+ from the environment. Once in the symplast,
Na+ is distributed within cells and between different tissues and organs. There it can help to …

The salinization of irrigated lands is increasingly detrimental to plant biomass production
and agricultural productivity, as most plant species are sensitive to high concentrations of …

Completely updated from the successful first edition, this book provides a timely update on
the recent progress in our knowledge of all aspects of plant perception, signalling and …
