Farming Systems and Poverty IMPROVING FARMERS' LIVELIHOODS IN A CHANGING WORLD (2001, methodology): “In the presence of 200 mM NaCl, GM tomato and canola plants reached maturity with very good fruit set and oil quality, respectively (Apse et al., 1999; Zhang and Blumwald, 2001 and Eduardo Blumwald, pers. comm. 2001).”
Abiotic stress tolerance in rice for Asia: progress and the future (2004, background): “For example, overexpression of the vacuolar Na + /H + antiporters (AtNHX1) from Arapidopsis in tomato (Zhang and Blumwald 2001 ) and canola (Zhang et al. 2001) permitted the transgenic plants to grow in up to 200 mM NaCl, which is extremely high for xerophytic plants.”
Plant salt-tolerance mechanisms (2014, background): “tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) or rice, led to increased plant salinity tolerance [61,62].”
Salt-tolerant genes from halophytes are potential key players of salt tolerance in glycophytes (2016, background): “In contrast, there is evidence that the glycophytic genes also confer salt tolerance when expressed in different model species, including crop species (Zhang and Blumwald, 2001; He et al., 2005; Hou and Bartels, 2015).”
Specific Roles of α- and γ-Tocopherol in Abiotic Stress Responses of Transgenic Tobacco1[W][OA] (2007, background): “…transgenic plants overexpressing the plasma membrane Na1/ H1 antiporter SOS1 (Shi et al., 2003) or the vacuolar Na1/H1 antiporter AtNHX1 (Apse et al., 1999; Zhang et al., 2001; Zhang and Blumwald, 2001), demonstrating that the sequestration capacity for sodium is limiting in high salinity.”
Mechanisms of salinity tolerance. (2008, background): “Increased salinity tolerance of a range of plant species overexpressing NHX genes (5, 11, 15, 59, 138, 143, 144) or AtAVP1 (45) indicates the feasibility of such a mechanism and suggests that this process is important for Na+ tolerance not only in Arabidopsis but also across plant species.”
Plant abiotic stress response and nutrient use efficiency (2020, background): “Overexpression of AtNHX1 confers salt tolerance in Arabidopsis, tomato and canola (Apse et al., 1999; Zhang and Blumwald, 2001; Zhang et al., 2001).”
Recent Updates on Salinity Stress in Rice: From Physiological to Molecular Responses (2011, background): “High levels of salts can be tolerated by plants through internal distribution of ions for osmotic adjustment and by keeping Na+ away from the cytosol (Zhang and Blumwald, 2001).”
Characterization of a family of vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporters in Arabidopsis thaliana (2003, background): “Although the leaves accumulated high sodium concentrations, the tomato fruits displayed very low amounts of sodium (Zhang and Blumwald, 2001).”
Comparative Genomics in Salt Tolerance between Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis-Related Halophyte Salt Cress Using Arabidopsis Microarray1 (2004, background): “Overexpression of the vacuolar Na1/H1 antiporter NHX1 has been shown to confer salt tolerance in Arabidopsis and tomato, suggesting the utility of this vascuolar compartmentation of Na1 (Apse et al., 1999; Zhang and Blumwald, 2001).”
Pennisetum glaucum Na+/H+ antiporter confers high level of salinity tolerance in transgenic Brassica juncea (2007, background): “juncea and tomato (Zhang and Blumwald 2001; Zhang et al. 2001).”
Evaluation of some nutritional and biochemical indicators in selecting salt-resistant tomato cultivars (2005, background): “The result is a wide variety of physiological and biochemical changes in plants that inhibit growth and development, reduce photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis, and disrupt nucleic acid metabolism (Levine et al., 1990; Zhang and Blumwald, 2001; Sairam et al., 2002).”
