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).

RESPONSE OF PEPPERMINT TO SALT STRESS
Acta Horticulturae, 2010The effect of salt stress on the growth and essential oil production of peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) was evaluated in this study. Accessions of peppermint, sourced from the National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A., were grown in controlled environmental conditions to determine the variability for growth and oil ...

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.

Interactions of Stress, Salt, and Blood Pressure
Annual Review of Physiology, 1984understanding of the role of these environ mental-behavioral variables in long-term blood pressure control has remained elusive. In this review, evidence is summarized that suggests that the car diovascular effects of stress and salt are synergistic, and that experimental hypertension can be produced in intact animals by a combination of sustained ...

Stress and Salt Sensitivity in Childhood Hypertension
2013The pressure response to sodium is heterogeneous among individuals with normal blood pressure and in hypertensives. Nevertheless, sodium restriction is typically recommended for everyone with hypertension. As reviewed here, categorization of an individual as salt sensitive has important prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Dehydroascorbate reductase and salt stress.
CABI Reviews, 2009Abstract Salinity is the major environmental limiting factor of plant growth and productivity. Salt, as well as drought, chilling and extreme temperatures, increases the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive levels of ROS lead to oxidative damage to cellular molecules, ageing and cell death.

Root hydraulics in salt-stressed wheat
Functional Plant Biology, 2014The aim of the present study was to test whether salinity, which can impact through its osmotic stress component on the ability of plants to take up water, affects root water transport properties (hydraulic conductivity) in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L). Hydroponically grown plants were exposed to 100 mM NaCl when they were 10–11 days old. Plants

Spermine accumulation under salt stress
Journal of Plant Physiology, 2004Polyamines 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.

Stress and Salt Sensitivity in Primary Hypertension
Current Hypertension Reports, 2015As the development of hypertension and target organ damage becomes more prevalent, it becomes exceedingly important to determine the underlying mechanisms through which this detrimental development occurs. Specifically, our studies and others have explored mechanisms through which stress elicits a salt-sensitive response in approximately 20-30 % of the
