TL;DR: In this article, a greenhouse experiment was carried out to determine the effects of salinity and different ripening states of pepper fruits on several compounds with antioxidant properties, including lycopene, β-carotene, and sugars.

TL;DR: The auxin/cytokinin ratio in the leaves and roots may explain both the salinity-induced decrease in shoot vigour and the shift in biomass allocation to the roots, in agreement with changes in the activity of the sink-related enzyme cell wall invertase.

TL;DR: Interestingly, and in contrast to the expected negative effect of the stress combination on plant growth, the results show that the combination of heat and salinity provides a significant level of protection to tomato plants from the effects of salinity.

TL;DR: A flexible platform able to cope with soilless culture needs in full recirculation greenhouses using moderately saline water is proposed, based on exchangeable low-cost hardware and supported by a three-tier open source software platform at local, edge and cloud planes.

TL;DR: The role of melatonin is reported in the protection of the photosynthetic apparatus through the increase in ROS detoxification in tomato plants grown under the combination of salinity and heat, two of the most common abiotic stresses known to act jointly.
