Soil salinity is becoming a growing issue nowadays, severely affecting the world's most
productive agricultural landscapes. With intersecting and competitive challenges of …

Crop productivity strongly depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Salinity is one of the
most important abiotic factors, besides drought, extreme temperatures, light and metal …

Potassium is an obligatory component of living cells, and all of them depend on K+ uptake,
and also eventually on K+ e¥ ux, to grow and to keep themselves alive. It is also an …

The proton-pumping ATPase (H+-ATPase) of the plant plasma membrane generates the
proton motive force across the plasma membrane that is necessary to activate most of the …

Despite the usually high abundance of iron (Fe) in soils, the low solubility of Fe-bearing
minerals restricts the available Fe pools in most aerobic soils to levels that are far below …

Due to the nature of coastal and estuarine systems, seagrasses must be able to tolerate
short-term salinity fluctuations including both hyposaline and hypersaline conditions. Salt …

The plasma membrane (PM) H (+)-ATPase has been proposed to play important transport
and regulatory roles in plant physiology, including its participation in auxin-induced …

How do plants take up minerals from the soil? In the beginning of this century it was
generally thought that solutes simply move together with water. The energy source for solute …

Generally, seagrass Zostera marina L. distribution in the Wadden Sea and south-west
Netherlands is limited to waters with low to moderate nutrient concentrations. However, it is …

The increase of seawater desalination plants may affect seagrasses as a result of its
hypersaline effluents. There are some studies on the salinity tolerance of seagrasses under …
