Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) is a legume crop, and gum derived from its seeds has various industrial applications. Due to its tolerance to various abiotic stresses, guar can be grown under water-deficit or high-salinity conditions.

Effects of Low and Moderate Salinity on Zinnia marylandica [PDF]
Soil and water salinity are considered among the main abiotic constraints especially in arid and semi-arid regions where saline groundwater is often used for crop irrigation since surface water is not easily available.

THE SALT-TOLERANT RICE SELECTION SUITABLE FOR SALINE WASTE WATERIRRIGATION IN ERGENE BASIN
The aim of this study is to use morphological and physiological parameters to select both salt tolerant and high yielding rice cultivars convenient for growth in the salinity conditions of the Ergene Basin.

The Photosynthesis, Na+/K+ Homeostasis and Osmotic Adjustment of Atriplex canescens in Response to Salinity [PDF]
Atriplex canescens (fourwing saltbush) is a C4 perennial fodder shrub with excellent resistance to salinity. However, the mechanisms underlying the salt tolerance in A. canescens are poorly understood. In this study, 5-weeks-old A. canescens seedlings were treated with various concentrations of external NaCl (0-400 mM).

Genetic Diversity and Synergistic Modulation of Salinity Tolerance Genes in Aegilops tauschii Coss
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 ...

Lotus tenuis tolerates combined salinity and waterlogging: maintaining O2 transport to roots and expression of an NHX1-like gene contribute to regulation of Na+ transport [PDF]
Salinity and waterlogging interact to reduce growth for most crop and pasture species. The combination of these stresses often cause a large increase in the rate of Na+ and Cl− transport to shoots; however, the mechanisms responsible for this are largely

Sodium incorporation in foraminiferal calcite: An evaluation of the Na/Ca salinity proxy and evidence for multiple Na-bearing phases [PDF]
The ratio of sodium to calcium (Na/Ca) in foraminiferal calcite has been proposed as a proxy for salinity, yet relatively little is known about the incorporation of sodium into the shells of foraminifera. Ongoing debates include the location of Na in the calcite crystal lattice, the possibility that at least some Na might be complexed with organics ...

Effect of Saline Irrigation on Accumulation of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ Ions in Rice Plants
Salinity is an abiotic stress that curtails rice production in many parts of the world. Although Koshihikari and Nikomaru are high-yielding japonica rice cultivars, their salinity-tolerance levels are not well known.

The distributions of Na and chlorophyll in the leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings grown under a saline condition were examined in relation to the anatomical changes caused by salinity. In salt-treated plants, the Na content was higher in older leaves and basal part of the leaf.

Bread Wheat With High Salinity and Sodicity Tolerance
Soil salinity and sodicity are major constraints to global cereal production, but breeding for tolerance has been slow. Narrow gene pools, over-emphasis on the sodium (Na+) exclusion mechanism, little attention to osmotic stress/tissue tolerance ...
