In living cells, water flows via apoplastic path (across cell walls), symplastic path (from cell to cell by plasmodesmata) or transcellular path (traversing the cell membranes). Detailed studies on water relations revealed the essential class of water channel proteins known as aquaporins (AQPs) ...
. The proportion of down-regulated genes was higher than that for up-regulated genes for water stress (3.2%) and lower for salt stress (0.7%), although only eight genes, predominantly involved in energy generation, were down-regulated in both stress conditions. Co-expression of genes of ...
salt stress. Because cell signaling controls plant responses and adaptation, it is probably not an exaggeration to state that water stress signaling has in large part shaped the flora on earth. Drought and salt stress, together with low temperature, ...

Salt and Water StressTriticum aestivumThe purpose of the work was to assess the combined effect of drought andsalinity (50, 100, 200 mМ NaCl) on the meso- and ultrastructure of mesophyllcells of wheat seedlings. Stress development was estimated by a decrease in the relative water content (...
Implication of cell wall adhesive proteins in plant resistance to osmotic stress was first identified in NaCl-adapted plant cells [8] and during water deficit [9]. Results indicate the presence of wall proteins closely related to animal vitronectin or FbN [8], [10], [11] or containing the...
Due to global climate change, crops are certainly confronted with a lot of abiotic and biotic stress factors during their growth that cause a serious threat to their development and overall productivity. Among different abiotic stresses, salt and drought
In "unstressed" soils, up to 108 or 109 microbial cells per gram of soil can be found, while in stressed soils the microbial population can be reduced to ∼104 cells per gram of soil (Timmusk et al., 2011). Several microorganisms are beneficial to plant growth and also increase the ...
salt stress. This gap highlights the need for a thorough investigation, given its potential importance in enhancing crop resilience in saline conditions. This study aimed to explore the beneficial effects of seed priming on both main and lateral roots of tomato plants subjected to salt stress. ...
Excess soluble salts (such as Na+) in the soil reduce the water potential of the soil around the root surface, thereby limiting water availability for the plant and reducing plant water uptake (Van Zelm et al., 2020). In this way, salt stress leads to water deficit or osmotic stress to...
