Soil Salinity: Effect on Vegetable Crop Growth. Management Practices to Prevent and Mitigate Soil Salinization
Rui Machado,R. P. Serralheiro +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of salinity on vegetable growth and how management practices (irrigation, drainage, and fertilization) can prevent soil and water salinization and mitigate the adverse effects of Salinity are discussed.

Improving drought and salinity tolerance in barley by application of salicylic acid and potassium nitrate
TL;DR: In this paper, Salicylic acid (SA) and KNO 3 were used to ameliorate the negative effects of salt and water deficit stresses on barley growth and physiological activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of Drought Tolerance in Maize (Zea mays L.) due to Exogenous Application of Trehalose: Growth, Photosynthesis, Water Relations and Oxidative Defence Mechanism
TL;DR: Overall, exogenously applied trehalose considerably improved drought tolerance of maize plants by up-regulating photosynthetic and water relation attributes as well as antioxidant defence mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of proline functions in saline conditions.
TL;DR: It is proposed that proline might be essential for improving salinity tolerance in some species/cultivars, but may not be relevant in others, and that comprehensive future research is needed to establish the proline exact mechanism by which it enhances plant salt tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exogenous proline effects on photosynthetic performance and antioxidant defense system of young olive tree.
TL;DR: Proline supplements seem to improve olive salt tolerance by amelioration of some antioxidative enzyme activities, photosynthetic activity, and, so, plant growth and the preservation of a suitable plant water status under salinity conditions.
