[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] In this study the effects of salt stress on growth and several stress markers were investigated in the ornamental and medicinal plant Calendula officinalis. One-month-old plants were submitted to increasing salt ...

[EN] Larix decidua, the European larch, is not normally affected by drought or salinity in its
natural habitats, but it may be when grown as an ornamental tree, by the widespread practice of
winter de-icing of mountain ...
[EN] Biosynthesis of proline¿or other compatible solutes¿is a conserved response of all organisms to different abiotic stress conditions leading to cellular dehydration. However, the biological relevance of this reaction ...
[EN] This study attempted to determine short-term responses to drought and salt stress in different Silene vulgaris genotypes and to identify potential abiotic stress biochemical indicators in this species. Four populations ...
Dittrichia viscosa is a Mediterranean ruderal species that over the last decades has expanded into new habitats, including coastal salt marshes, ecosystems that are per se fragile and threatened by human activities. To ...
[EN] Proline (Pro) and glycine betaine (GB) contents were determined in two Mediterranean halophytes, Plantago crassifolia and
Inula crithmoides, to assess their possible role in salt tolerance of both taxa. Plant material ...

[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] The increasing frequency and intensity of drought periods is a serious threat for agriculture, prompting research
to select and develop crop species and cultivars with enhanced water stress tolerance. Drought responses ...
[EN] Drought tolerance was evaluated in twelve cultivars of three ornamental Tagetes
species (T. patula, T. tenuifolia and T. erecta). A stress treatment was performed
by completely stopping watering of plants maintained ...
[EN] This study assessed the responses of four local Spanish cultivars of Phaseolus lunatus (lima bean) to moderate salinity. For three weeks, plants were exposed to increasing salinity (50-150 mM NaCl) under greenhouse ...

[EN] We have studied whether two common osmolytes proline (Pro) and glycine betaine (GB) accumulate in plants of different Plantago species in response to salt and water stress, which would suggest that these compatible ...

[EN] We have performed an extensive study on the responses to salt stress in four related Limonium halophytes with different geographic distribution patterns, during seed germination and early vegetative growth. The aims ...
