Salt tolerance in the halophyte Salicornia dolichostachya Moss: Growth, morphology and physiology (2013, background): “Yeo and Flowers (1980) and Subbarao et al. (2003) stated that NaCl-free solutions can be regarded as deficient for dicotyledonous halophytes that have optimal growth at NaCl concentrations above 50 mM.”
Role of Macronutrients in Plant Growth and Acclimation: Recent Advances and Future Prospective (2014, background): “plant nutrients are either chemical elements or generally compounds which are essential for growth, development, and better yield while also playing counter roles in external activities and metabolism of plants (Vitousek 1982; Alam 1999; Subbarao et al. 2003; He and Yang 2007).”
Potassium Substitution by Sodium in Plants (2011, background): “Sustainable agricultural practices and nutrient use management are essential to keep the land resources protected by diminishing the accumulation of Na+ in the soils (Subbarao et al., 2003).”
Recent Updates on Salinity Stress in Rice: From Physiological to Molecular Responses (2011, background): “, 2003 ), it is clear that high levels of Na + are toxic in the plant cell cytosol.”
Mechanisms of sodium uptake by roots of higher plants (2009, background): “A low amount of Na+ is unlikely to be toxic in the cytoplasm, and even high amounts of Na+ are not toxic in the vacuole as described previously (Blumwald et al. 2000; Flowers and Lauchli 1983; Subbarao et al. 2003).”
