Abstract excerpt
Exposure to high ambient levels of NaCl affects plant water relations and creates ionic stress in the form of the cellular accumulation of Cl- and, in particular, Na+ ions. However, salt stress also impacts heavily on the homeostasis of other ions such as Ca2+, K+, and NO(3)(-) and therefore requires insights into how transport and compartmentation of these nutrients is altered during salinity stress. A genomics...
