Millions of hectares of Australian agricultural land are affected by salinity. This results in the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each year. The identification of the pathway for the initial influx of Na+ into plants from the soil will be important in helping to develop crop plants that are salt tolerant. This will increase our understanding of the mechanisms of salinity tolerance, an area of great importance to Australian agriculture and environmental sustainability. The future applications of this work will increase agricultural productivity and enhance the quality of life for both Australians and the international community.

数以百万计的澳大利亚农业用地受到盐碱化的影响。这导致每年损失数亿美元的收入。确定土壤中Na+最初进入植物的途径对于培育耐盐作物具有重要意义。这将增加我们对耐盐性机制的了解，这是一个对澳大利亚农业和环境可持续性非常重要的领域。这项工作未来的应用将提高澳大利亚人和国际社会的农业生产力和生活质量。
