Soil salinity is destroying several hectares of arable land every minute. Because remedial land management cannot completely solve the problem, salt tolerant crops or plant species able to remove excessive salt from the soil could contribute significantly to managing the salinity problem.

Short-term salt tolerance mechanisms in differentially salt tolerant tomato species
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 1999Abstract The physiological changes induced by a daily increase of NaCl level, over a period of 4 d, were studied in leaves of the salt-sensitive cultivated tomato species Lycopersicon esculentum and its wild salt-tolerant relative Lycopersicon pennellii.

Salt uptake and salt tolerance by sunflower
Plant and Soil, 1973A normally grown crop of sunflower on red sandy loam soils was found to remove considerable quantities of chloride and sodium. On heavy clay soils with saline patches sunflower plants removed large quantities of sodium followed by chloride and sulphate.

No quantitative information is available regarding the salt tolerance of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). The present study was conducted over a two-year period in small field plots irrigated by drip, where irrigation frequency was also a variable.

Engineering Salt Tolerance in Plants
Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Reviews, 2003Recent progress has been made in the identification andcharacterization of the mechanisms that allow plants to toleratehigh salt concentrations. The understanding of metabolic fluxesand the main constraints for the production of compatiblesolutes (i.e.

Macromolecular Rapid Communications
AbstractZwitterionic polymers are an important class of polymers with far‐ranging applications. In the widely studied poly(meth)acrylate and poly(meth) acrylamide‐based zwitterions, properties can be tuned by changing the nature of substituents attached to ammonium ions.

Breeding Salt-Tolerant Crop Plants
1980To date there has been a moderate amount of work done on the development of salt tolerant crop plants. Fuchs (1955) speculated that breeding for salt tolerance should be quite similar to breeding for drought tolerance. In the 1960’s, Dewey (1962) developed a program for breeding salt tolerant crested wheatgrass, Epstein and Jefferies (1964) wrote on ...

Plant Science![Figure][1] CREDIT: MOLLER ET AL., PLANT CELL 21 , 10.1105/TPC.108.064568 (2009) Crops grown in salty soils yield less. Soils may be too salty naturally, as expanding land use presses hectares of marginal quality into agricultural service, and reasonable-quality lands can become too salty because of the effects of long-term irrigation.

Salt Tolerance Requires Myristoylation
Science's STKE, 2000Mutations in the SOS3 gene, which is predicted to encode a calcium-binding protein, result in Arabidopsis that cannot tolerate salt stress. SOS3 was myristoylated in vitro. Mutation of the consensus glycine abolished the in vitro myristoylation and abolished the ability of SOS3 to restore ...
