There is considerable variability in salt tolerance amongst members of the Triticeae, with the
tribe even containing a number of halophytes. This is a review of what is known of the …

In this paper, a number of strategies to overcome the deleterious effects of salinity on plants
will be reviewed; these strategies include using molecular markers and genetic …

Crop production is threatened by global climate change, and recent demands for crops to
produce bio-fuels have started to affect the worldwide supply of some of the most important …

Highlights•HKT transporter-mediated Na+ absorption in root stelar cells is a key salt
tolerance mechanism.•HKTs are presently the most widely known genes that enhance salt …

Background Na+ exclusion from leaf blades is one of the key mechanisms for glycophytes to
cope with salinity stress. Certain class I transporters of the high-affinity K+ transporter (HKT) …

Salinity limits the production capabilities of agricultural soils in large areas of the world. Both
breeding and screening germplasm for salt tolerance encounter the following limitations:(a) …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has a major salt tolerance locus, Kna1, responsible for
the maintenance of a high cytosolic K+/Na+ ratio in the leaves of salt stressed plants. The …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) has a greater ability to exclude Na+ from its leaves and is
more salt tolerant than durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum [Desf.]). A novel …

The negative impact of soil salinity on agricultural yields is significant. For agricultural plants,
sensitivity to salinity is commonly (but not exclusively) due to the abundance of Na+ in the …

Crop salt tolerance (ST) is a complex trait affected by numerous genetic and non‐genetic
factors, and its improvement via conventional breeding has been slow. Recent …
