The aim of the present review was to reconsider basic information about various functional
aspects related to plant water content and provide evidence that the usefulness of …

Salinity stress is one of the most important challenges in agriculture systems. The present
work was aimed to evaluated the effects of saline irrigation, using different NaCl …

Main conclusion Sorbitol metabolism plays multiple roles in many plants, including energy
and carbon enrichment, effective defence against various stresses and other emerging …

The genus Peronospora is the largest genus of the oomycetes, fungus-like members of the
kingdom Straminipila that also contains amoeboid (eg, Leukarachnion) and plant-like (eg …

Salinity stress is one of the primary abiotic stresses limiting crop growth and yield. Plants
respond to salinity stress with several morphophysiological, molecular, and biochemical …

Photosynthesis is the largest organic synthesis on Earth, salinity limits crop yield and quality
worldwide directly or indirectly related to the decrease in photosynthetic efficiency. The …

Irrigation with saline water causes significant crop yield loss. However, short-term saline
application might cause less negative effects on yield yet at the same time improve quality …

The genus Plantago is particularly interesting for studying the mechanisms of salt tolerance
in plants, as it includes both halophytes and glycophytes, as well as species adapted to xeric …

Ethnopharmacological relevance Salt-tolerant plants are well adapted to the harsh
conditions of the Mediterranean region, where have been used traditionally as food and …

Abstract Analysis of genetic diversity and marker-assisted selection as an initial step for the
improvement of traits in plants is important in breeding programs. The aims of the current …
