TL;DR: It is shown that increases in endogenous BR levels, but not indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or GA levels, are associated with ripening in grapes, and that application of BRs to grape berries significantly promoted ripening, while brassinazole significantly delayed fruit ripening.

TL;DR: Early flowering provides a promising strategy for the production of advanced drought-adapted wheat cultivars and can be high both in well-watered and drought-affected field trials, where an efficient strategy of DE was associated with quick growth, yield potential and water use efficiency.

TL;DR: It is concluded that gene expression profiles are very different depending the method of salt application, and Imposition of salt stress by gradual exposure to NaCl rather than salt shock with a single application of a high concentration of NaCl is recommended for genetic and molecular studies, because this more closely reflects natural incidences of salinity.

TL;DR: Genes from the corresponding rice and Brachypodium intervals encode 16 different classes of proteins and include several plausible candidates for HvNax3, a useful trait contributing to salinity tolerance in cultivated barley.

TL;DR: It is indicated that transgenic barley expressing AVP1 is a promising option for increasing cereal crop productivity in saline fields and did not alter barley leaf sodium concentrations in either greenhouse- or field-grown plants.
