TL;DR: Alkali stress has a stronger injurious effect on the distribution and accumulation of metabolites than salt stress, and increasing Ca concentration can immediately trigger SOS Na exclusion system and reduce the Na injury.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the wheat metabolome is dominated by sugars, organic acids and amino acids; the Wheat metabolome plays important roles in enhancing the drought tolerance of shoots.

TL;DR: Alkaline salt stress conditions characterized by elevated pH values suppressed substantially the levels of photosynthesis, N metabolism, glycolysis, and the production of sugars and amino acids, indicating the presence of different defensive mechanisms responsible for the plant responses to neutral salt and alkaline salt stresses.

TL;DR: Investigation of whether alkali stress induces ionic and metabolism changes in old and young leaves of cotton plants exposed to alkali stressed plants showed that alkali Stress exerted a considerably stronger growth inhibition on old leaves than on young leaves.

TL;DR: Setaria viridis responds by synthesizing greater amounts of organic acids than are required to counter salinity to address the intracellular ion imbalance; this process is at the cost of the plant's already diminished energy resource.
