Ascophyllum nodosum-based algal extracts act as enhancers of growth, fruit quality, and adaptation to stress in salinized tomato plants (2018, background): “K+ is involved in different cellular functions, such as activation of enzymatic reactions, charge balancing, and osmoregulation (Wakeel et al. 2011).”
Potassium fertilization increases water-use efficiency for stem biomass production without affecting intrinsic water-use efficiency in Eucalyptus grandis plantations (2016, background): “Although high concentrations of salt in soils significantly reduce the yields of agricultural crops (Munns, 2005), Na may replace K for various physiological functions (Wakeel et al., 2011; Kronzucker et al., 2013; Erel et al., 2015).”
Salinity Stress in Wheat: Effects, Mechanisms and Management Strategies (2021, background): “This mechanism helps to maintain the K/Na ratio in the cytosol [63] and ensures plant survival under salinity conditions.”
Role of Macronutrients in Plant Growth and Acclimation: Recent Advances and Future Prospective (2014, background): “, transcription and translation, and suggested that these two processes would not be possible without ample K supply to the plants (Wakeel et al. 2011).”
Salt stress in maize: effects, resistance mechanisms, and management. A review (2015, unknown): “However, the SR maize hybrid SR 03 maintained H+-pumping and decreased apoplastic pH better than its parent hybrid Pioneer 3906, a prerequisite for cell wall loosening to promote growth under salt stress (Pitann et al. 2009c;Wakeel et al. 2011a).”
