Soil salinization has become a major global agricultural issue that threatens sustainable
development goals related to food security, agriculture, resource conservation, and nutrition …

The transport processes of substances in various plant tissues are extremely diverse.
However, models aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of such processes are almost …

Halophyte is a distinctive group of plants that can survive, even well flourish, at a
concentration of Na+ and Cl− ions along with heavy metals that would be lethal to most of …

In salt-sensitive plants, root hydraulic conductivity is severely inhibited by NaCl, rapidly
leading to the loss of water balance. However, halophytic plants appear to effectively control …

Few plants can survive and grow equally well in salty and salt-free substrates (ie, habitat-
indifferent halophytes). Such plants provide a good opportunity to understand physiological …

This review considers the specific mechanisms of salinity adaptation in different salt-tolerant
plant species. The differences among salt tolerance mechanisms are primarily associated …

The aim of the chapter is to describe effects of salinity on root growth in halophytes and on
the structure of their root growth zone. The importance of ion transport for root growth under …

The rapid growth of the population and the reduction of resources make it necessary to study
the ways of optimal use of food production potential for greater productivity in arid and semi …

Although many aspects of salinity tolerance in plants have been thoroughly researched,
some of the fundamental aspects of plant water relations remain unclear. The main objective …

Although halophytes could grow in a variety of habitats with extreme temperatures and
highly variable saline conditions, this chapter explains growth dynamics of subtropical …
