• Soil Salinity: Effect on Vegetable Crop Growth. Management Practices to Prevent and Mitigate Soil Salinization (2017, background): “These effects are more important in older leaves, as they have been transpiring the longest so they accumulate more ions [7].”
• Effect of salinity on composition, viability and germination of seeds of Chenopodium quinoa Willd (2007, background): “The modification of a single trait can significantly improve the salinity tolerance of a crop plant (Zhang and Blumwald 2001; Munns et al. 2002; Munns and James 2003; Xue et al. 2004).”
• Growth, ion content, gas exchange, and water relations of wheat genotypes differing in salt tolerances (2005, background): “The mechanism that is used depends on the pattern of ion distribution between the leaves and on ion compartmentation within the cell (Greenway and Munns 1980; Cheeseman 1988; Munns et al. 2002).”
• Anatomical adaptations to salinity in cogon grass [Imperata cylindrica (L.) Raeuschel] from the Salt Range, Pakistan (2009, background): “cylindrica to salinity stress because of the potential value of such genetic resources (Munns et al. 2002; Ashraf 2004; Flowers and Colmer 2008) in improving the salinity tolerance of crop plants (Munns and Tester 2008).”
• The response of barley to salinity stress differs between hydroponic and soil systems (2010, background): “The majority of the work on developing selection criteria for improved salt tolerance has been done using solution culture, either in hydroponic or supported hydroponic systems (Munns et al. 2002; Genc et al. 2007), or using sand-based systems (Munns 2002), with the implicit assumption that differen”
• Screening methods for salinity tolerance: a case study with tetraploid wheat (2003, background): “The trait of Na+ exclusion has a high heritability, and we have recently mapped at QTL and identified a molecular marker for this trait (Munns et al., 2002), which is being used in a breeding program.”
• Recent Advances in Genetics of Salt Tolerance in Tomato (2004, background): “A suggested approach to improve the efficiency of selection for ST has been the adoption of new selection criteria based on the genetic knowledge of physiological processes which limit crop production under saline conditions (Tal, 1985; Yeo and Flowers, 1990; Munns et al., 2002).”
• Improving salinity tolerance in crop plants: a biotechnological view (2008, background): “Although quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for salt tolerance have been described in several cereal species, development of reliable markers across a wide range of genotypic backgrounds can be a difficult task and is entirely dependent on an accurate phenotypic screen (Munns et al. 2002; Witcombe et al”
• PLANT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT UNDER SALINITY STRESS (2007, background): “The vegetative shoot biomass of rice, on the other hand, is often affected much less than reproductive growth (except for young seedlings) (Khatun and Flowers, 1995; Munns et al., 2002).”
• Scaling up: the essence of effective agricultural research (2010, methodology): “From this knowledge, Munns et al. (2002) developed an assay for salt tolerance of whole plants based on measuring the salt concentration in emerged leaves of tenday old plants grown in gravel culture – essentially supported hydroponics – with constant salt concentrations in the medium and realistic…”
• Soil salinity: A serious environmental issue and plant growth promoting bacteria as one of the tools for its alleviation (2014, background): “Farming systems can change to incorporate perennials in rotation with annual crops (phase farming), in mixed plantings (alley farming, intercropping), or in site-specific plantings (precision farming) (Munns et al., 2002).”
• Genetic Improvement of Pigeon Pea — A Review (2008, background): “Salinity stress adversely affects plant growth at all stages, but as with drought, the most sensitive periods are seedling and reproductive stages [63].”
• Improving crop salt tolerance. (2004, methodology): “The methods may be applicable to crops other than rice (Cuartero et al., 1992; Ellis et al., 1997; Foolad, 1997; Isla et al., 1998; Munns et al., 2002).”
• Sorghum stem yield and soluble carbohydrates under different salinity levels (2008, background): “Soil salinity reduces yield production of most crops (Munns et al., 2002).”
• Why does salinity pose such a difficult problem for plant breeders (2005, background): “There has been success using physiological criteria as the basis of selection or rice (Dedolph and Hettel, 1997) and such an approach has recently been advocated for wheat (Munns et al., 2002).”
