Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) with multiple plant growth promoting traits in stress agriculture: Action mechanisms and future prospects
TL;DR: Generally, ACC deaminase and IAA-producing bacteria can be a good option for optimal crop production and production of bio-fertilizers in the future due to having multiple potentials in alleviating stresses of salinity, drought, nutrient imbalance, and heavy metals toxicity in plants.

Potassium: A Vital Regulator of Plant Responses and Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses
Mirza Hasanuzzaman,Mhm Borhannuddin Bhuyan,Kamrun Nahar,M A Hossain,Jubayer Al Mahmud,Md. Sakib Hossen,Abdul Awal Chowdhury Masud,Moumita,Masayuki Fujita +8 more
TL;DR: In this review, the recent literature on the biological functions of K, its uptake, its translocation, and its role in plant abiotic stress tolerance are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity and crop yield
TL;DR: The interlink of the physiological understanding of tolerance processes from molecular processes as well as the agronomical techniques for stabilizing growth and yield and their interlinks might help improving the authors' crops for future demand and will provide improvement for cultivating crops in saline environment.

Wastewater reuse in irrigation: a microbiological perspective on implications in soil fertility and human and environmental health.
Cristina Becerra-Castro,Ana R. Lopes,Ivone Vaz-Moreira,Elisabete Silva,Célia M. Manaia,Olga C. Nunes +5 more
TL;DR: The maintenance of a rich and diversified autochthonous soil microbiota and the use of treated wastewater with minimal levels of potential soil contaminants are proposed as sine qua non conditions to achieve a sustainable wastewater reuse for irrigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Going beyond nutrition: regulation of potassium homoeostasis as a common denominator of plant adaptive responses to environment.
TL;DR: It appears that K(+) is not just the essential nutrient required to support optimal plant growth and yield but is also an important signaling agent mediating a wide range of plant adaptive responses to environment.

Mechanisms of salinity tolerance
Rana Munns,Mark Tester +1 more
TL;DR: The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level and the role of the HKT gene family in Na(+) exclusion from leaves is increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

TL;DR: An increase in future drought events could turn temperate ecosystems into carbon sources, contributing to positive carbon-climate feedbacks already anticipated in the tropics and at high latitudes.
