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
Effect of salinity stress on plants and its tolerance strategies: a review.
TL;DR: The understanding of salinity impact on various aspects of plant metabolism and its tolerance strategies in plants is reviewed and it appears to be a major constraint to plant and crop productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some important physiological selection criteria for salt tolerance in plants
TL;DR: The major adaptive components of salt tolerance such as osmotic adjustment, photosynthesis, water relations and ion relations are reviewed and it is found that physiological and biochemical indicators for individual species are determined rather than generic indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Humic and fulvic acids as biostimulants in horticulture
Luciano Pasqualoto Canellas,Luciano Pasqualoto Canellas,Fábio Lopes Olivares,Natália Oliveira Aguiar,Davey L. Jones,Antonio Nebbioso,Pierluigi Mazzei,Alessandro Piccolo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define humic substances in a horticultural context and present a general schematic model of plant-humic responses, highlighting the relationship between the chemical properties of humified matter and its bioactivity with specific reference to the promotion of lateral root growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of organic amendment as a strategy for saline soil remediation: Influence on the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil
TL;DR: The effectiveness of adding two organic wastes (cotton gin crushed compost, CGCC, and poultry manure, PM) to a saline soil (Salorthidic Fluvaquent) in dryland conditions near Seville (Guadalquivir Valley, Andalusia, Spain) was studied during a period of 5 years as mentioned in this paper.

Determination of accurate extinction coefficients and simultaneous equations for assaying chlorophylls a and b extracted with four different solvents: verification of the concentration of chlorophyll standards by atomic absorption spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction coefficients for chlorophylls a and b in diethylether (Smith, J.H. and Benitez, A.V., eds.), used in this paper as primary standards, were verified by magnesium determination using atomic absorbance spectrophotometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sap Pressure in Vascular Plants: Negative hydrostatic pressure can be measured in plants.
TL;DR: A method is described which permits measurement of sap pressure in the xylem of vascular plants, and finds that in tall conifers there is a hydrostatic pressure gradient that closely corresponds to the height and seems surprisingly little influenced by the intensity of transpiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological processes limiting plant growth in saline soils: some dogmas and hypotheses
TL;DR: It is argued that salts taken up by the plant do not directly control plant growth by affecting turgor, photosynthesis or the activity of any one enzyme, and rather, the build-up of salt in old leaves hasten their death, and the loss of these leaves affects the supply of assimilates or hormones to the growing regions and thereby affects growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity
TL;DR: The salt tolerance of vegetables has been condensed and reported in a uniform format based on the best available data and how different measurements of salinity in solution cultures, sand cultures, and field studies can be reconciled to a common basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato and salinity
TL;DR: The effects of salinity on tomato plant growth and fruit production, the cultural techniques which can be applied to alleviate the deleterious effects of salt, and the possibilities of breeding salt-tolerant tomatoes are reviewed.
