[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] It¿s common sense to usually recognize some concepts as being very simple and accessible. Often, this could lead to a reductionist way in which some problems are regarded and understood. In plant ecology, many concepts ...

[EN] Seven Romanian salt-tolerant species were histo-anatomical investigated. These species have been classified by the authors of the present study as ¿amphibious¿ halophytes, related to the field observations and anatomical ...

The patterns of ion uptake were analysed in three dicotyledonous (Arthrocnemum macrostachyum, Sarcocornia fruticosa and Inula crithmoides) and two monocotyledonous (Juncus acutus and J. maritimus) halophytes, collected ...

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 ...

[ES] La salinidad es un problema que afecta aproximadamente al 20% de las tierras cultivadas a nivel mundial. Por este motivo la tolerancia a la salinidad hace que algunos miembros del género Sarcocornia sean considerados ...
