Salt-stress signaling

Journal of Plant Biology, 2007
Salinity stress has a major impact on plant growth and development. Increasing concentrations of salt in farm soils means that researchers must develop tolerant crops if the global food supply is to be sustained. Salt adaptation involves a complex network of different mechanisms whose responses to high salinity are regulated in an integrated fashion ...

Spermine accumulation under salt stress

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2004
Polyamines have long been recognized to be linked to stress situations, and it is generally accepted that they have protective characteristics. However, little is known about their physiological relevance in plants subjected to long-term salt stress.

Salt stress upregulates periplasmic arabinogalactan proteins: using salt stress to analyse AGP function*

New Phytologist, 2005
Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are implicated in cell expansion by unknown mechanisms, thus AGP content and cell-expansion rate might be correlated. We used Yariv reagent to quantify release rates and distribution of AGP at the cell surface of tobacco BY-2 cells: plasma membrane (M); soluble periplasmic AGPs released by cell rupture (S); cell wall (W);

Salt Stress

2017
Soil salinity is an abiotic stress that poses a great threat to agriculture. Major crop losses annually occur due to toxic salts in the soil, particularly sodium chloride (NaCl). When plants are stressed with NaCl, they often exhibit slower growth, premature leaf senescence, reduced tillering or branching, and decreased yield.

Stress, salt and hypertension

Social Science & Medicine, 1988
Reasons are given why calcium, obesity and genetics cannot be considered primary factors in the etiology of essential hypertension. This leaves the major protagonists as salt and neuroendocrine responses to the emotions aroused by the social environment.

SALT STRESS

2006
Saline water occupies 71% of the Earth area. It is thought that even a quarter of the whole pedosphere is affected by salts (Glenn and O'Leary, 1985), amounting to 950 x 106 ha (Flowers and Yeo, 1995), while 23 % of the 1.5 x 109 ha cultivated land is considered as saline (Rhoades and Loveday, 1990).
