Sodium transport in plant cells.
TLDR
The mechanisms of sodium entry, extrusion, and compartmentation are reviewed, with a discussion of recent progress on the cloning and characterization, directly in planta and in yeast, of some of the proteins involved in sodium transport.About:

Plant cellular and molecular responses to high salinity.
TL;DR: Evidence for plant stress signaling systems is summarized, some of which have components analogous to those that regulate osmotic stress responses of yeast, some that presumably function in intercellular coordination or regulation of effector genes in a cell-/tissue-specific context required for tolerance of plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt tolerance and salinity effects on plants: a review.
TL;DR: The ability of plants to tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions, and maintain ion homeostasis as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant salt tolerance
TL;DR: A recently discovered halophytic plant species, Thellungiella halophila, now promises to help in the detection of new tolerance determinants and operating pathways in a model system that is not limited to Arabidopsis traits or ecotype variations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Na+ Tolerance and Na+ Transport in Higher Plants
Mark Tester,Romola Davenport +1 more
TL;DR: This work suggests that equally important in a wide range of conditions are processes involving the management of Na(+) movements within the plant, and requires more knowledge of cell-specific transport processes and the consequences of manipulation of transporters and signalling elements in specific cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold, salinity and drought stresses: an overview.
Shilpi Mahajan,Narendra Tuteja +1 more
TL;DR: Various factors pertaining to cold acclimation, promoter elements, and role of transcription factors in stress signaling pathway have been described, and the role of calcium as an important signaling molecule in response to various stress signals has been covered.

The mechanism of salt tolerance in halophytes
TL;DR: The objective was to establish an experimental procedure and show direct AFM measurements that unequivocally can be assigned as a mode of action for the conversion of NalK to Na6(SO4)(SO3) during the cycling process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt Tolerance Conferred by Overexpression of a Vacuolar Na+/H+ Antiport in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: Overexpression of a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiport fromArabidopsis thaliana in Arabidopsis plants promotes sustained growth and development in soil watered with up to 200 millimolar sodium chloride, demonstrating the feasibility of engineering salt tolerance in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-plant responses to salinity
Rana Munns,Annie Termaat +1 more
TL;DR: This paper discusses whole-plant responses to salinity in order to answer the question of what process limits growth of non-halophytes in saline soils and suggests that a message from the root is regulating leaf expansion.

A Calcium Sensor Homolog Required for Plant Salt Tolerance
Jiping Liu,Jian-Kang Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that intracellular calcium signaling through a calcineurin-like pathway mediates the beneficial effect of calcium on plant salt tolerance.
