Plant salt tolerance: adaptations in halophytes [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2015 Background Most of the water on Earth is seawater, each kilogram of which contains about 35 g of salts, and yet most plants cannot grow in this solution; less than 0·2 % of species can develop and reproduce with repeated exposure to seawater. These ‘extremophiles’ are called halophytes.

Biologia Plantarum, 2011 Cucumber plants were either self-grafted or grafted onto two salt-tolerant pumpkin rootstocks Chaojiquanwang (Cucurbita moschata Duch), and Figleaf Gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia Bouche).

Morphological and Physiological Response of Different Lettuce Genotypes to Salt Stress
Stresses, 2021 Salt stress (SS) refers to excessive soluble salt concentrations in the plant root zone. SS also causes cellular water deficits, ion toxicity, and oxidative stress in plants, all of which can cause growth inhibition, molecular damage, and even plant ...

Seedling salt tolerance in tomato [PDF]
, 2011 Soils with higher concentrations of salt are becoming more and more a constraint for many crops to obtain high yields. Wild tomato species, adapted to adverse environments, are a potential reservoir for genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTL ...

Plant Salinity Stress Response and Nano-Enabled Plant Salt Tolerance
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The area of salinized land is gradually expanding cross the globe. Salt stress seriously reduces the yield and quality of crops and endangers food supply to meet the demand of the increased population. The mechanisms underlying nano-enabled plant tolerance were discussed, including (1) maintaining ROS homeostasis, (2) improving plant’s ability to ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Plant Responses to Salt Stress: Adaptive Mechanisms
Agronomy, 2017 This review deals with the adaptive mechanisms that plants can implement to cope with the challenge of salt stress. Plants tolerant to NaCl implement a series of adaptations to acclimate to salinity, including morphological, physiological and biochemical
