Journal ArticleDOI
Stomatal control in tomato with ABA‐deficient roots: response of grafted plants to soil drying
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stomatal closure in response to soil drying can occur in the absence of leaf water deficit, and does not require ABA production by roots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting CO2 assimilation, leaf injury and growth in salt-stressed durum wheat.
TL;DR: The most sensitive indicator of salinity stress was gs, followed by CO2 assimilation, with fluorescence parameters other than NPQ being no more sensitive than chlorophyll itself, indicating that these later reductions in CO2 Assimilation in Wollaroi were a consequence of a direct toxic ion effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Sodium Transport in Durum Wheat
TL;DR: Na+ transport was compared in two varieties of durum wheat known to differ in salt tolerance and Na+ accumulation; the relatively salt tolerant landrace line 149 and the salt sensitive cultivar Tamaroi and it was likely that xylem loading and leaf sheath sequestration are separate genetic traits that interact to control leaf blade Na+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving salt tolerance of wheat and barley: future prospects
TL;DR: In this review, key traits contributing to salt tolerance, and sources of variation for these within the Triticeae, are identified and recommendations for use of these traits in screening for salt tolerance are summarised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation for improving the salt tolerance of durum wheat
TL;DR: Low Na+ accumulation and high K+/Na+ discrimination of similar magnitude to that of bread wheat was found in the sub-species durum, and selections have the potential for improving salt tolerance in durum wheat breeding programs.
