Tolerance to drought is a quantitative trait, with a complex phenotype, often confounded by
plant phenology. Breeding for drought tolerance is further complicated since several types of …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth and agriculture productivity. To
cope with salt stress, plants have evolved complex salt-responsive signaling and metabolic …

Barley seeds need to be able to germinate and establish seedlings in saline soils in
Mediterranean-type climates. Despite being a major cereal crop, barley has few reported …

Key message An overview is presented of recent advances in our knowledge of candidate
proteins that regulate various physiological and biochemical processes underpinning plant …

The review is focused on plant proteome response to salinity with respect to physiological
aspects of plant salt stress response. The attention is paid to both osmotic and ionic effects …

Background Drought and salinity are two major abiotic stresses that severely limit barley
production worldwide. Physiological and genetic complexity of these tolerance traits has …

A spring barley collection of 192 genotypes from a wide geographical range was used to
identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for salt tolerance traits by means of an association …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most salt-tolerant cereal crop and has excellent genetic
and genomic resources. It is therefore a good model to study salt-tolerance mechanisms in …

Sodium (Na+) accumulation in the cytosol will result in ion homeostasis imbalance and
toxicity of transpiring leaves. Studies of salinity tolerance in the diploid wheat ancestor …

Responses of plants to salinity stress and the development of salt tolerance are extremely
complex. Proteomics is a powerful technique to identify proteins associated with a particular …
