Recent Updates on Salinity Stress in Rice: From Physiological to Molecular Responses (2011, background): “(2010) the traits needing to be pooled in barley or wheat MAS include Na + exclusion, K + /Na + discrimination, ion retention in sheaths, tissue tolerance, ion partitioning in different leaves, osmotic adjustment, enhanced vigor, water use efficiency and early flowering.”
Halophytes: Gourmet food with nutritional health benefits? (2017, background): “In addition, they are able to regulate transpiration and accumulate essential nutrients like K in the presence of high Na and Cl concentrations (Flowers et al., 2010).”
REVIEW: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON HALOPHYTES AND SALINE ADAPTATIONS How can we take advantage of halophyte properties to cope with heavy metal toxicity in salt-affected areas? (2015, background): “As halophytes display a strong need to regulate Na and K concentration inside their cells (Flowers et al., 2010), regulation of their channels in response to the hydroxyl radical should be considered.”
Salt stress affects water relations, photosynthesis, and oxidative defense mechanisms in Solanum melongena L. (2013, background): “2012), activities of enzymatic antioxidants, and levels of nonenzymatic compound (Ashraf 2009) as well as inorganic nutrition (Flowers et al. 2010; Akram et al. 2011).”
Learning from halophytes: physiological basis and strategies to improve abiotic stress tolerance in crops. (2013, background): “Halophytes are defined as plants that naturally inhabit saline environments and benefit from having substantial amounts of salt in the growth media.”
Abiotic Stress Responses and Microbe-Mediated Mitigation in Plants: The Omics Strategies (2017, background): “Ruan et al. (2010) estimated salt affected soils to impact upon 50% of total irrigated land in the world costing US$12 billion in terms of loss (Flowers et al., 2010).”
Prospects of Halophytes in Understanding and Managing Abiotic Stress Tolerance (2012, methodology): “Halophytes show immense diversity in habitat and behavior to tolerate the abiotic stress conditions with uneven distribution across the taxa of fl owering plants (Flowers et al. 2010 ) .”
Diversity, distribution and roles of osmoprotective compounds accumulated in halophytes under abiotic stress. (2015, background): “Conclusion Osmolytes, including carbohydrates, quaternary ammonium compounds, proline and sulphonium compounds, are widely distributed among orders of flowering plants, reflecting both phylogeny and functional needs (Flowers and Colmer, 2008; Flowers et al., 2010).”
Plasma membrane permeability as an indicator of salt tolerance in plants (2013, background): “Salt stress has been identified as one of the most serious environmental factors limiting the productivity of crop plants (Qadir et al. 2008, Flowers et al. 2010).”
ROS homeostasis in halophytes in the context of salinity stress tolerance. (2014, background): “The global annual losses in agricultural production from salt-affected land are in excess of US$12 billion and rising (Qadir et al., 2008; Flowers et al., 2010).”
Sodium chloride toxicity and the cellular basis of salt tolerance in halophytes. (2015, background): “in sufficient quantities to adjust the whole volume of cells, it follows that evolutionary pressure has resulted in plants using Naþ and Cl as osmotica in vacuoles while preventing these ions rising to toxic concentrations in the cytoplasm (Flowers et al., 2010).”
