TL;DR: In this paper, most research has concentrated around stomatal limitation to photosynthesis, while non-stomatal limitations to photosynthetic plants have been studied in agricultural sustainability and global food security.

TL;DR: This work summarizes the current knowledge of mechanisms mediating Cd uptake, radial transport, and translocation within the plant and suggests that real progress in the field may be only achieved if the transport of Cd and the above beneficial micronutrients is uncoupled.

TL;DR: Electrophysiological and whole-plant responses of salt-treated Arabidopsis thaliana mutants pop2-5 and gad1,2 that possess different abilities for GABA accumulation are compared to show differential salinity tolerance between two lines.

TL;DR: It is argued that reliance on salt-excluding crops is counterproductive and environmentally unsustainable and new breeding paradigms are required to incorporate halophytic traits that were present in wild relatives but lost during domestication.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the increase of pectin content and PME activity under Al toxicity cooperates to determine Al sensitivity in root transition zone that confers Al resistance in cultivars of pea (Pisum sativum).
