Soil salinity and sodicity are major constraints to global cereal production, but breeding for tolerance has been slow. Narrow gene pools, over-emphasis on the sodium (Na<sup>+</sup>) exclusion mechanism, little attention to osmotic stress/tissue tolerance mechanism(s) in which accumulation of inorganic ions such as Na<sup>+</sup> is implicated, and lack of a suitable screening method have impaired progress. The aims of this study were to discover novel genes for Na<sup>+</sup> accumulation usin ...[more]
