Journal ArticleDOI
A screening method to identify genetic variation in root growth response to a salinity gradient
TL;DR: A screening method was developed to identify genetic variation in rates of root growth in durum wheat in a saline solution gradient similar to that found in many saline fields, highlighting changes in root system architecture caused by a saline gradient that is genotype dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated CO2 Improves the Growth of Wheat Under Salinity
TL;DR: High CO2 increased growth by stimulating the development of tiller buds that would otherwise have been inhibited in wheat plants, indicating that salt uptake was largely independent of water uptake, and that high CO2 did not increase growth by reducing the salt load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of foliar applications of glycinebetaine on stomatal conductance, abscisic acid and solute concentrations in leaves of salt- or drought-stressed tomato
TL;DR: The results indicate that applied glycinebetaine was involved in regulation of stomatal conductance but not via ABA metabolism or water relations, and may have been accumulated in specific cells or cellular compartments, with consequences forStomatal functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of salt transport from roots to shoots of wheat in saline soil.
TL;DR: Wheat genotypes with 5-fold difference in shoot Na+ concentrations were studied over a salinity range of 1-150 mm NaCl and CaCl2 of 0.5-10 mm to assess their performance in saline and sodic soils, suggesting feedback regulation and K+ showed a pattern inverse to that of Na+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion Concentration and Carbohydrate Status of the Elongating Leaf Tissue 4Hordeum vulgare Growing at High External NaCl I. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOLUTE CONCENTRATION AND GROWTH
TL;DR: The evidence indicates that the water deficit in the elongating tissue is due to saturation of ion uptake by individual cells, rather than to a limited input to the tissue as a whole.
