Animal research has identified various mechanisms by which high salt intake drives disease in the kidney, brain, vasculature and immune system. The potential for therapeutic interventions in many of these pathways has yet to be tested. Salt-reduction interventions lower blood pressure, but for most ...
Salinization of soil and water resources exists on a global scale, largely due to irrigated agriculture in semi-arid climates. Coal bed methane (CBM) development, resulting in the co-production of saline-sodic discharge water, is a potential new source of salinzation in the Powder River Basin ...
Atriplex nummularia is a halophyte widely employed to recover saline soils and was used as a model to evaluate the water potentials in the soil-plant system under drought and salt stresses. Potted plants grown under 70 and 37% of field capacity irrigated with solutions of NaCl and of a ...
Excess salts in soil solution affect the osmotic potential ofsoil water. The increase insoil water potential(i.e., more negative) makes water harder to extract and less available to plant roots, which can lead to water stress in plants. ...
The osmotic parameters of plant changes rapidly in response to salt stress [12]. This is usually expressed by evaluating the changes in turgor pressure, osmotic pressure, RWC and water potential [33,37,39,78]. For example, water potential in Arabidopsis decreases upon treatment with 100 mM ...

Introduction Salinity is one of the most significant environmental challenges limiting plant productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid climates [1,2]. Salinity...
(2) a long-term method, which consists in minimizing leaf growth, hence reducing the transpiration area. These mechanisms also help to maintain water homeostasis of shoot tissues; when the stomata partially close, the transpiration diminishes and the leaf water potential increases (leaves become ...
and salt tolerance at seedling stage is very weak. Understanding this difference is crucial for optimizing cultivation practices and maximizing the plant’s economic potential. Salt stress resistance at the seedling stage is the key to the cultivation of the plant using salinized land. This study in...
Purple-fleshed sweetpotato (PFSP) is one of the most important crops in the word which helps to bridge the food gap and contribute to solve the malnutrition problem especially in developing countries. Salt stress is seriously limiting its production and
This collection of ESTs from salt gland-rich tissue depicts potential interaction between gene products either with each other or with other molecules in the cell, thereby suggesting the global functional network. The interactive Gene Ontology (GO) map of the ESTs with both Arabidopsis and poplar ...
