Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.

Salt tolerance is evolutionarily labile in a diverse set of angiosperm families
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Salt tolerance in plants is rare, yet it is found across a diverse set of taxonomic groups. This suggests that, although salt tolerance often involves a set of complex traits, it has evolved many times independently in different angiosperm ...

Effects of salt stress and nitrogen application on growth and ion accumulation of Suaeda salsa plants [PDF]
, 2011 Suaeda salsa is a typical pioneer species which can grow well in high salt environmental conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of different levels of salinity (5.25, 10.5 ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

Rhamnogalacturonan‐II Dimerisation Reinforces Salt Resistance in Sugar Beet
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Salinity stress predominantly affects negatively charged cell wall polymers, for example, pectin. Excess Na+ ions interact physically and affect growth in stress‐sensitive plants. However, the salinity resistance of sugar beet cell walls remains unclear.
