Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing
about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical …

Water availability is arguably the most important environmental factor limiting crop growth
and productivity. Erratic precipitation patterns and increased temperatures resulting from …

Salinization of land is likely to increase due to climate change with impact on agricultural
production. Since most species used as crops are sensitive to salinity, improvement of salt …

This review focuses on the regulation of root water uptake in plants which are exposed to
salt stress. Root water uptake is not considered in isolation but is viewed in the context of …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …

Drought stress is a major global issue limiting agricultural productivity. Plants respond to
drought stress through a series of physiological, cellular, and molecular changes for …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is more drought tolerant than other cereals, thus making it an
excellent model for the study of the chemical, transcriptomic and physiological effects of …

Abiotic stresses could have complex and diverse effects on the growth and development of
forest trees. In this review, we summarized the responses of morphological, physiological …

Environmental changes cause abiotic stress in plants, primarily through alterations in the
uptake of the nutrients and water they require for their metabolism and growth and to …

The phosphorylation state of two serine residues within the C‐terminal domain of AtPIP2; 1
(S280, S283) regulates its plasma membrane localization in response to salt and osmotic …
