[EN] The anatomic structure of roots and culms of two Juncus species with different degrees of salt tolerance was analysed in plants grown for two months under salt stress (NaCl treatments) and in control, non-treated ...

[EN] The study of the mechanisms of response to salt stress is one of the most active research topics in plant biology, not only due to its unquestionable academic interest but also because of its economic implications, ...

[EN] Limonium is one of the most interesting and biodiverse genera of halophytes, with many species adapted to saline environments. Limonium species have a promising potential as cultivated minor crops as many have ornamental ...

[EN] The Chenopodiaceae halophyte species provide perhaps the ideal model to study the ecological adaptations in relations with extreme environmental conditions. Closely linked with saline habitats, the chenopods with Kranz ...

[EN] In this work we try to propose an integrative manner in which halophytes could be ecologically approached. Taking into considerations many factors related to environmental conditions, as well as corresponding adaptations ...

[ES] A través de la fitosociología se ha estudiado las agrupaciones de plantas, sus interrelaciones y su dependencia con el medio ambiente en la costa del golfo Arabe en los Emiratos Arabes Unidos (EAU). La vegetacion ...

Soil salinisation is an increasing problem for agriculture, affecting the most productive crop areas in the world those cultivated under irrigation in arid and semi-arid regions. In addition, a significant fraction of ...

[EN] Aims Osmolytes, used for maintaining osmotic balance and as osmoprotectants , are synthesized in plants as a general, conserved response to abiotic stress, although their contribution to stress-tolerance mechanisms ...

[EN] In the present study, we have investigated spatial and temporal changes in Pro levels in several monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous halophytes growing in a littoral salt marsh located near the city of Alicante (SE Spain).

[EN] Comparative studies on the responses to salinity and drought were carried out in three Juncus species, two halophytes (Juncus maritimus Lam. and Juncus acutus L.) and one more salt-sensitive (Juncus articulatus L.). ...
