Crop yield loss due to soil salinization is an increasing threat to agriculture worldwide. Salt
stress drastically affects the growth, development, and grain productivity of rice (Oryza sativa …

Salt tolerance is an important constrain for rice, which is generally categorized as a typical
glycophyte. Soil salinity is one of the major constraints affecting rice production worldwide …

Salinity stress is considered the most devastating abiotic stress for crop productivity.
Accumulating different types of soluble proteins has evolved as a vital strategy that plays a …

Soil and water salinity substantially constrain crop and biomass production. Research over
the last two plus decades, facilitated by advances in molecular genetics and biotechnology …

Polyploidy occurs prevalently and plays an important role during plant speciation and
evolution. This phenomenon suggests polyploidy could develop novel features that enable …

The ability of wheat to maintain a low sodium concentration ([Na+]) in leaves correlates with
improved growth under saline conditions,. This trait, termed Na+ exclusion, contributes to the …

Two major genes for Na+ exclusion in durum wheat, Nax1 and Nax2, that were previously
identified as the Na+ transporters TmHKT1; 4-A2 and TmHKT1; 5-A, were transferred into …

Salt tolerance quantitative trait loci analysis of rice has revealed that the SKC 1 locus, which
is involved in a higher K+/Na+ ratio in shoots, corresponds to the Os HKT 1; 5 gene …

Salt tolerance is an important economic trait for crops growing in both irrigated fields and
marginal lands. The plant kingdom contains plant species that possess highly distinctive …

Elevated Na+ levels in agricultural lands are increasingly becoming a serious threat to the
world agriculture. Plants suffer osmotic and ionic stress under high salinity due to the salts …
