Potassium (K+) is an essential cation in all organisms that influences crop production and
ecosystem stability. Although most soils are rich in K minerals, relatively little K+ is present in …

HKT channels are a plant protein family involved in sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+)
uptake and Na+-K+ homeostasis. Some HKTs underlie salt tolerance responses in plants …

Water deficit stress is an abiotic stress that causes reductions in growth and yield of many
field crops around the world. The present research was aimed to elucidate the mitigating …

Ion transport is crucial for salt tolerance in plants. Under salt stress, the high-affinity K+
transporter (HKT) family is mainly responsible for the long-distance transport of salt ions …

Background Intron retention (IR), the most prevalent alternative splicing form in plants, plays
a critical role in gene expression during plant development and stress response. However …

Glycophytic plants are susceptible to salinity and their growth is hampered in more than 40
mM of salt. Salinity not only affects crop yield but also limits available land for farming by …

Within two years of their discovery in 1977, introns were found to have a positive effect on
gene expression. Our result shows that introns can achieve gene expression and regulation …

This chapter focuses on the practicality of the challenge of food security that is threatened by
various climate change constraints and ensure that well integrated outputs are made over a …

In this chapter, we refer to the expressed portion of the barley genome as the relatively small
fraction of the total cellular DNA that either contains the genes that ultimately produce …

BnaLCR78 genes of three types of rape were cloned in rape (Brassica napus), and encoded
protein structure was analyzed, the results showed that the protein had a conserved coding …
