Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that restricts the growth and yield of crops.
Understanding the physiological, metabolic, and biochemical responses of plants to salt …

Abstract Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) are essential macronutrients for
plant growth and development, and their availability affects crop yield. Compared with N, the …

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 …

Modern agriculture relies on mineral fertilization. Unlike other major macronutrients,
potassium (K+) is not incorporated into organic matter but remains as soluble ion in the cell …

Background Salinity is a global issue threatening agricultural production systems across the
globe. While the major focus of plant salinity stress tolerance research has been on sodium …

Excess soil salinity affects large regions of land and is a major hindrance to crop production
worldwide. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of plant salt tolerance has …

In this review we summarize factors determining the plant availability of soil potassium (K),
the role of K in crop yield formation and product quality, and the dependence of crop stress …

Potassium is the major cation responsible for the maintenance of the ionic environment in
plant cells. Stable potassium homeostasis is indispensable for virtually all cellular functions …

Partially and fully completed plant genome sequencing projects in both lower and higher
plants allow drawing a comprehensive picture of the molecular and structural diversities of …
