Open AccessIdentification of candidate genes related to salt tolerance of the secretohalophyte Atriplex canescens by transcriptomic analysis
Atriplex canescens is a typical C4 secretohalophyte with salt bladders on the leaves. Accumulating excessive Na+ in tissues and salt bladders, maintaining intracellular K+ homeostasis and increasing leaf organic ...

Aliphatic suberin confers salt tolerance to Arabidopsis by limiting Na+ influx, K+ efflux and water backflow
Uncontrolled uptake of Na+ is the reason that many species are sensitive to salinity. Suberin is a protective barrier found in the walls of root endodermal cells that appears to be important for salt tolerance, y...

SsHKT1;1 is coordinated with SsSOS1 and SsNHX1 to regulate Na+ homeostasis in Suaeda salsa under saline conditions
Under saline conditions, Suaeda salsa, as a typical halophyte, accumulates large amounts of Na+ in its leaves during optimal growth. Key transporters involved in Na+ accumulation in plants are HKT-type protein, t...

Aluminum-activated Malate Transporter 12 is involved in restricting root-to-shoot Cl− transport in Arabidopsis under Cl−-salt stress
Controlling root-to-shoot Cl− transport to reduce Cl− accumulation in shoots is one of crucial mechanisms for salt tolerance of glycophytes, but the proteins directly involved in this process under salt stress ar...

SLAH1 is involved in the long-distance transport of Cl− from roots into shoots in the Cl−-tolerant xerophyte Pugionium cornutum under salt stress
Different from most crops and forages, the xerophyte Pugionium cornutum can absorb high quantities of Cl− and then efficiently transport them into shoots to enhance osmotic adjustment ability under salt stress. H...

AcHKT1;2 is a candidate transporter mediating the influx of Na+ into the salt bladder of Atriplex canescens
Atriplex canescens adapts to saline soils by sequestering excessive Na+ in salt bladders on the surface of aerial tissues, which is a complex comprising epidermal cells (ECs), stalk cells (SCs) and epidermal blad...

PcCLCg is involved in the accumulation of Cl− in shoots for osmotic adjustment and salinity resistance in the Cl−-tolerant xerophyte Pugionium cornutum
The xerophyte Pugionium cornutum is a salt-tolerant species that can accumulate high amounts of Cl− in shoots for osmotic adjustment under saline condition. However, the molecular basis underlying how P. cornutum
