Abstract excerpt
In many species, salt sensitivity is associated with the accumulation of sodium (Na(+)) in photosynthetic tissues. Na(+) uptake to leaves involves a series of transport steps and so far very few candidate genes have been implicated in the control of these processes. In this study, Na(+) transport was compared in two varieties of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) L. subsp. durum known to differ in salt tolerance and...
