Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato and salinity
TL;DR: The effects of salinity on tomato plant growth and fruit production, the cultural techniques which can be applied to alleviate the deleterious effects of salt, and the possibilities of breeding salt-tolerant tomatoes are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato plant-water uptake and plant-water relationships under saline growth conditions.
TL;DR: Growing seedlings in seedbeds with saline media could be of interest to better tolerate further salty conditions in the field or greenhouse and in relation to salt tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing salt tolerance in the tomato
TL;DR: A number of strategies to overcome the deleterious effects of salinity on plants will be reviewed; these strategies include using molecular markers and genetic transformation as tools to develop salinity-tolerant genotypes, and some cultural techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon alleviates the deleterious salt effect on tomato plant growth by improving plant water status
TL;DR: It can be concluded that Si improves the water storage within plant tissues, which allows a higher growth rate that, in turn, contributes to salt dilution into the plant, mitigating salt toxicity effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rootstock-mediated changes in xylem ionic and hormonal status are correlated with delayed leaf senescence, and increased leaf area and crop productivity in salinized tomato

TL;DR: Although the underlying physiological mechanisms by which rootstocks mediate leaf area or chlorophyll fluorescence seem complex, a putative potassium-CK interaction involved in regulating both processes merits further attention.
