Mechanisms of salinity tolerance
Rana Munns,Mark Tester +1 more
TL;DR: The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level and the role of the HKT gene family in Na(+) exclusion from leaves is increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative physiology of salt and water stress
TL;DR: It is important to avoid treatments that induce cell plasmolysis, and to design experiments that distinguish between tolerance of salt and tolerance of water stress, to understand the processes that give rise toolerance of salt, as distinct from tolerance of osmotic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes and salt tolerance: bringing them together.
TL;DR: This review lists some candidate genes for salinity tolerance, and draws together hypotheses about the functions of these genes and the specific tissues in which they might operate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approaches to increasing the salt tolerance of wheat and other cereals
TL;DR: Physiological mechanisms and selectable indicators of gene action that underlie traits for salt tolerance are described, with the aim of promoting new screening methods to identify genetic variation for increasing the salt tolerance of cereal crops.
