Salt Stress Responses and Tolerance in Soybean

Salinity Stress and Salt Tolerance

Salinity is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops, with adverse effects on germination, plant vigour and crop yield (R Munns & Tester, 2008). Salinization affects many irrigated areas mainly due to the use of brackish water. Worldwide, more than 45 million hectares of irrigated land have been damaged by salt, and 1.5 million hectares are taken out of pr...

Soybean Salt Tolerance 1 (GmST1) Reduces ROS Production, Enhances ABA Sensitivity, and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abiotic stresses, including high soil salinity, significantly reduce crop production worldwide. Salt tolerance in plants is a complex trait and is regulated by multiple mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms and dissecting the components on their regulatory pathways will provide new insights, leading to novel strategies for the improvement of salt tolerance in agricultural and economic crops ...

Salt responses of enzymes from species differing in salt tolerance.

Enzymes which are affected by the addition of inorganic salts during in vitro assay were extracted from salt-sensitive Phaseolus vulgaris, salt-tolerant Atriplex spongiosa, and Salicornia australis and tested for sensitivity to NaCl. In each case malate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase showed NaCl responses similar to those f...
