Abstract excerpt
Most work on wheat breeding for salt tolerance has focused mainly on excluding Na(+) from uptake and transport to the shoot. However, some recent findings have reported no apparent correlation between leaf Na(+) content and wheat salt tolerance. Thus, it appears that excluding Na(+) by itself is not always sufficient to increase plant salt tolerance and other physiological traits should also be considered. In...
