Salt resistant crop plants

TL;DR: The roles of a range of genes involved in salt tolerance traits are reviewed, including ion exclusion, osmotic tolerance and tissue tolerance, which are a major constraint to agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Na+ and K+ Transporters in Salt Stress Adaptation in Glycophytes.

TL;DR: It turns out that these transporters and channels are equally important for the adaptation of glycophytes as they are for halophytes, but differential gene expression, structural differences in the proteins and post-translational modifications account for the differences in tolerance between the two groups.

Regulation of Na+ and K+ homeostasis in plants: towards improved salt stress tolerance in crop plants

TL;DR: This review will introduce salt stress responses in plants and summarize the current knowledge about the most important ion transporters that facilitate intra- and intercellular K+ and Na+ homeostasis in these organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Auxin and the integration of environmental signals into plant root development

TL;DR: The auxin pathway constitutes an essential component of the plant's biotic and abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms and further understanding of the specific roles that auxin plays in environmental adaptation can ultimately lead to the development of crops better adapted to stressful environments.

Salt Stress Reduces Root Meristem Size by Nitric Oxide-Mediated Modulation of Auxin Accumulation and Signaling in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored whether and how auxin and nitric oxide (NO) are involved in salt-mediated inhibition of root meristem growth in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) using physiological, pharmacological, and genetic approaches.

Mechanisms of salinity tolerance

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.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants

TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
