Salt Tolerance and Na Allocation in Sorghum bicolor under Variable Soil and Water Salinity [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Salinity is a major constraint for plant growth in world areas exposed to salinization. Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a species that has received attention for biomass production in saline areas thanks to drought and salinity tolerance.

Evolution of Plant Na+-P-Type ATPases: From Saline Environments to Land Colonization [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Soil salinity is one of the major factors obstructing the growth and development of agricultural crops. Eukaryotes have two main transport systems involved in active Na+ removal: cation/H+ antiporters and Na+-P-type ATPases. Key transport proteins, Na+/K+-P-ATPases, are widely distributed among the different taxa families of pumps which are responsible

Linking salinity stress tolerance with tissue-specific Na+ sequestration in wheat roots [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Salinity stress tolerance is a physiologically complex trait that is conferred by the large array of interacting mechanisms. Among these, vacuolar Na(+) sequestration has always been considered as one of the key components differentiating between sensitive and tolerant species and genotypes.

Genetics of Na+ exclusion and salinity tolerance in Afghani durum wheat landraces [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2017 Selecting for low concentration of Na+ in the shoot provides one approach for tackling salinity stress that adversely affects crop production. Novel alleles for Na+ exclusion can be identified and then introduced into elite crop cultivars.We have identified loci associated with lower Na+ concentration in leaves of durum wheat landraces originating from

Salinity controls on Na incorporation in Red Sea planktonic foraminifera [PDF]
Paleoceanography, 2016 AbstractWhereas several well‐established proxies are available for reconstructing past temperatures, salinity remains challenging to assess. Reconstructions based on the combination of (in)organic temperature proxies and foraminiferal stable oxygen isotopes result in relatively large uncertainties, which may be reduced by application of a direct ...

Ouabain-Sensitive α1 Na,K-ATPase Enhances Natriuretic Response to Saline Load [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2008 Na,K-ATPase is ubiquitously expressed and is essential for maintaining electrochemical and osmotic gradients. The alpha subunit of Na,K-ATPase is the receptor for cardiotonic steroids, which act through the ouabain-binding site and are important in cardiovascular regulation.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Salt tolerance is a target trait in plant science and tomato breeding programs. Wild tomato accessions have been often explored for this purpose. Since shoot Na+/K+ is a key component of salt tolerance, RNAi-mediated knockdown isogenic lines obtained for Solanum galapagense alleles encoding both class I Na+ transporters HKT1;1 and HKT1;2 were used to ...

Planktonic foraminiferal spine versus shell carbonate Na incorporation in relation to salinity [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Abstract. Sea surface salinity is one of the most important parameters to reconstruct in paleoclimatology, reflecting amongst others the hydrological cycle, paleo-density, ice volume, and regional and global circulation of water masses. Recent culture studies and a Red Sea field study revealed a significant positive relation between salinity and Na ...

Genetic Diversity and Synergistic Modulation of Salinity Tolerance Genes in Aegilops tauschii Coss
Plants, 2021 Aegilops tauschii Coss. (2n = 2x = 14, DD) is a problematic weed and a rich source of genetic material for wheat crop improvement programs. We used physiological traits (plant height, dry weight biomass, Na+ and K+ concentration) and 14 microsatellite ...

Additive effects of Na+ and Cl– ions on barley growth under salinity stress [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011 Soil salinity affects large areas of the world's cultivated land, causing significant reductions in crop yield. Despite the fact that most plants accumulate both sodium (Na(+)) and chloride (Cl(-)) ions in high concentrations in their shoot tissues when grown in saline soils, most research on salt tolerance in annual plants has focused on the toxic ...
