Overcoming Salinity Barriers to Crop Production Using Traditional Methods (2013, methodology): “Nevertheless, the successful production of salt-tolerant cultivars by genetic transformation is limited when they are grown under commercial conditions (Ashraf et al., 2008b, 2009).”
Halophyte Improvement for a Salinized World (2010, background): “Finally, transferring salttolerant genes from wild relatives to domesticated crops is difficult because of reproductive barriers (Ashraf, 1994; Flowers, 2004; Ashraf et al., 2008).”
Alleviation of salt stress-induced adverse effects on maize plants by exogenous application of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and inorganic nutrients - A field trial (2013, background): “Of these, exogenous application of different types of plant growth regulators, osmoprotectants, and inorganic salts is contemplated to be an economical and shot-gun approach to alleviate the harmful effects of salinity on plant growth (Ashraf et al., 2008).”
Crop Production under Drought and Heat Stress: Plant Responses and Management Options (2017, background): “The Exploitation of the genetic variation among the existing cultivars for stress tolerance can be either done by natural selection under stressful environment or by QTLs mapping followed by marker assisted selection approach (Ashraf et al., 2008).”
Allelopathy in agro-ecosystems: a critical review of wheat allelopathy-concepts and implications (2016, unknown): “Pre-sowing seed treatment with growth-promoting substances has been reported as an effective remedy to improve germination , growth, and yield under stressful environments (Ashraf et al. 2008).”
Improving Salinity Tolerance in Cereals (2013, background): “A number of strategies to overcome the salinity problem have been explicitly discussed in several comprehensive reviews (Ashraf, 1994; 1999; 2009; Ashraf and Foolad, 2007; Munns and Tester, 2008; Ashraf et al., 2008; Ashraf and Akram, 2009; Shahbaz et al., 2012).”
Plant Response to Salt Stress and Role of Exogenous Protectants to Mitigate Salt-Induced Damages (2013, background): “Proline perform these functions by protecting the photosynthetic apparatus (Ashraf et al. 2008 ) , by functioning as an oxygen radical scavenger (Heuer 2003 ) , and by displaying an antioxidant activity (Okuma et al. 2004 ) .”
The Physiological, Biochemical and Molecular Roles of Brassinosteroids and Salicylic Acid in Plant Processes and Salt Tolerance (2010, background): “For example, exogenous application of many natural and synthetic PGRs appear to improve plant salt tolerance, or at least partially reduce the salt-induced harmful effects.”
Improving salinity tolerance in crop plants: a biotechnological view (2008, background): “Unfortunately, the majority of published work involving the assessment of transgenic plants under abiotic stresses has studied the effect of the transgene under controlled growth environments that are unlikely to occur in the natural conditions (Ashraf et al. 2008).”
Effect of foliar applied kinetin and indole acetic acid on maize plants grown under saline conditions. (2010, background): “Salinity is one of the major environmental factors limiting plant growth and productivity (Allakhverdiev et al. 2000; Ashraf et al. 2008).”
Exogenous application of moringa leaf extract modulates the antioxidant enzyme system to improve wheat performance under saline conditions (2012, unknown): “Exogenous application of plant growth regulators, osmoprotectants and fertilizers have been successfully employed to mitigate the salt-induced losses (Ashraf et al. 2008).”
EFFECT OF SALT STRESS ON PROLINE ACCUMULATION, PHOTOSYNTHETIC ABILITY AND GROWTH CHARACTERS IN TWO MAIZE CULTIVARS (2009, background): “…osmotic potential < 0.117 MPa) are defined as salinity land, which directly affects plant growth and development in vegetative growth prior to reproductive stage, especially crop species (Allakhverdiev et al., 2000; Sairam & Tyagi, 2004; Chinnusamy et al., 2005; Ashraf et al., 2008; Ashraf, 2009).”
The changes induced in the physiological, biochemical and anatomical characteristics of Vicia faba by the exogenous application of proline under seawater stress (2014, background): “(2008), Bekheta et al. (2009), Abdelhamid et al.”
