[EN] Drought and salinity are amongst the most damaging environmental stressors that can affect a plant's life cycle, from germination to senescence. In the present study were analysed the responses to salinity and drought ...

[EN] Little information is available on the physiological and biochemical responses to water stress in eggplant (Solanum melongena). We valuated four genetically diverse eggplant varieties (MEL3-MEL6) under control and ...

[EN] Bupleurum tenuissimum is a rare species in Spain, which became extinct in recent decades in many localities, including protected areas. In the study area, the ¿Albufera¿ Natural Park (SE Spain), the species was present ...

[EN] Soil salinity and the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals has significantly reduced the productivity of the Chinampas agroecosystem in Mexico City. Crop improvement under these stressful conditions may be achieved by ...

[EN] We have analysed the salt tolerance of two endemic halophytes of the genus Limonium, with high conservation value. In the present study, seed germination and growth parameters as well as different biomarkers-photosynthetic ...

[ES] La sequía y la salinidad son los factores ambientales que más afectan a las plantas, aunque en general, las plantas mediterráneas están bien adaptadas a las condiciones adversas. Las previsiones estiman que debido al ...

[EN] Background and aims: Morphological and biochemical traits of four halophytes of the genus Limonium were analysed in plants sampled from salt marshes in SE Spain. This work aimed to explore the mechanism(s) behind the ...

[EN] European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) has been reported either as more tolerant or as more sensitive to drought than conifers with perennial leaves. Previous studies have revealed that Carpathian populations of European ...

[EN] The genus Plantago is particularly interesting for studying the mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants, as it includes both halophytes and glycophytes, as well as species adapted to xeric environments. In this study, ...

[EN] Drought periods are becoming more frequent and intense, due to the effects of climate change, threatening natural habitats worldwide, including European forests. Forest trees can also be affected by high soil salinity, ...
