Insights into the Physiological and Biochemical Impacts of Salt Stress on Plant Growth and Development (2020, background): “The salt tolerance is evident as maintenance of vegetative growth and yield and lower necrotic percentage [50,51].”
Potassium Substitution by Sodium in Plants (2011, background): “(2002) reported that K + counteracts Na + stress, whereas Na + in turn can alleviate K + deficiency to a certain extent.”
Drought stress, its effect on maize production and development of drought tolerance through potassium application. (2013, background): “Studies on crop plants shows that potassium enhances the shelf life of fruit, enhances the length of stem along with root length (Maser et al., 2002).”
Improving crop salt tolerance. (2004, background): “Channels that are activated when the transmembrane potential is hyperpolarized are highly selective for K; other channels, activated when the membrane potential is depolarized, are less selective and could be one means by which sodium enters cells (Maser et al ., 2002 b ).”
THE ROLE OF CALCIUM IN PLANTS' SALT TOLERANCE (2012, background): “An increase in the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids causes an increase in K+ permeability across membranes (Maser et al., 2002).”
Sodium as nutrient and toxicant (2013, background): “…as these have been shown to be capable of mediating low-affinity Na+ fluxes in roots under special circumstances (Santa-María et al. 1997; Takahashi et al. 2007; see also Mäser et al. 2002), and are also expressed in shoots (Kim et al. 1998; Rubio et al. 2000; Bañuelos et al. 2002; Su et al. 2002).”
Why does salinity pose such a difficult problem for plant breeders (2005, background): “Although it is generally thought that sodium is ‘mistaken’ for potassium by potassium carriers or channels, it is also possible that sodium enters cells through non-selective cation channels, particularly those activated by glutamate (Demidchik et al., 2002; Maathuis and Amtmann, 1999; Maser et al.,”
Root Development and Nutrient Uptake (2006, background): “They may play important roles in K+ homeostasis by loading K+ into vacuoles or other acidic compartments (Mäser et al., 2001, 2002).”
