Critical knowledge gaps and research priorities in global soil salinity
Jan W. Hopmans,Asad Sarwar Qureshi,Isaya Kisekka,Rana Munns,Rana Munns,S.R. Grattan,Pichu Rengasamy,Alon Ben-Gal,Shmuel Assouline,Mathieu Javaux,Paramjit Singh Minhas,P.A.C. Raats,Todd H. Skaggs,G. Wang,Q. de Jong van Lier,H. Jiao,R.S. Lavado,Naftali Lazarovitch,B. Li,E. Taleisnik +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, a scoping review prioritizes critical knowledge gaps and makes recommendations for 10 priorities in soil salinity research toward a sustainable and productive agricultural system for a food-secure future world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abscisic acid levels in nacl-treated barley, cotton and saltbush
Z Kefu,Rana Munns,Rod W. King +2 more
TL;DR: The flux of ABA in the xylem sap of the three species was more than enough to account for the amount of A BA in leaves, in the presence and absence of salinity, which suggests that the roots may be the source of at least part of the ABA found in leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential for developing fodder plants for the salt-affected areas of southern and eastern Australia: an overview
M. E. Rogers,A. D. Craig,A. D. Craig,Rana Munns,Rana Munns,Timothy D. Colmer,Timothy D. Colmer,Phil Nichols,Clive Malcolm,Edward G. Barrett-Lennard,A Brown,William Semple,Pedro Evans,K. Cowley,Steven Hughes,Steven Hughes,Richard Snowball,Sarita Jane Bennett,Gregory Sweeney,Gregory Sweeney,Brian Dear,Mike Ewing +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the major issues that impact upon the development of improved fodder species for saline environments across temperate Australia and make recommendations for research that should ensure that Australian producers have access to a new array of productive fodder species suited to saline environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osmotic adjustment leads to anomalously low estimates of relative water content in wheat and barley.
TL;DR: Relative water content (RWC) is used extensively to determine the water status of plants relative to their fully turgid condition, but plants often adjust osmotically to salinity or water deficit, which maintains turgor pressure and obscures the definition of 'full turgidity'.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of sodium exclusion trait on chlorophyll retention and growth of durum wheat in saline soil
TL;DR: Six durum wheat genotypes with contrasting extents of sodium accumulation in leaves were used to assess the effects of sodium exclusion on leaf longevity and biomass production in saline soil, showing much longer chlorophyll retention than the high Na+ genotypes.
