Salinity, which is predominantly an issue for agricultural systems in arid and semi‐arid
regions, has the potential to impair grape production and wine quality, and its impact on the …

Vacuolar H+-pumping pyrophosphatases (VPs) provide a proton gradient for Na+
sequestration in the tonoplast; however, the regulatory mechanisms of VPs in developing …

Arid/semi-arid and coastal agricultural areas of the world are especially vulnerable to
climate change-driven soil salinity. Salinity tolerance in plants is a complex trait, with salinity …

Productivity of food crops like wheat, a staple food of major portion of the world, is hampered
due to salinity stress, thereby threatening food security. With the advancements in plant …

Soil salinity imposes an agricultural and economic burden that may be alleviated by
identifying the components of salinity tolerance in barley, a major crop and the most salt …

High-affinity potassium transporters (HKTs) are well known proteins that govern the
partitioning of Na+ between roots and shoots. Six HvHKTs were identified in barley and …

Plants draw up their surrounding soil solution to gain water and nutrients required for
growth, development and reproduction. Obtaining adequate water and nutrients involves …
