Modern agriculture relies on mineral fertilization. Unlike other major macronutrients,
potassium (K+) is not incorporated into organic matter but remains as soluble ion in the cell …

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 …

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 …

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient for plants. It is taken into the plant by the
transport systems present in the plasma membranes of root epidermal and cortical cells. The …

Ion transport is the fundamental factor determining salinity tolerance in plants. The Review
starts from differences in ion transport between salt tolerant halophytes and salt-sensitive …

Early changes in physiological and oxidative status induced by salt stress were monitored in
two Brassicaceae plants differing in their tolerance to salinity, Cakile maritima (halophyte) …

K+ is an essential macronutrient required by plants to complete their life cycle. It fulfills
important functions and it is widely used as a fertilizer to increase crop production. Thus, the …

Grafting is nowadays regarded as a rapid tool aimed at increasing environmental stress
tolerance of fruit vegetables. In cultivation systems oversupply of cations, saline or drought …

Polyhydroxy fullerenes nanoparticles (PHF) are regarded as free radical sponges. Can they
mitigate oxidative stress and induce tolerance in plants exposed to salinity? The influence of …

The Ca2+‐dependent SOS pathway has emerged as a key mechanism in the homeostasis
of Na+ and K+ under saline conditions. We have identified and functionally characterized …
