[EN] A fungal gene encoding a transcription factor is expressed from its own promoter in Arabidopsis phloem and improves drought tolerance by reducing transpiration and increasing osmotic potential. Horizontal gene ...

[EN] Agrobiodiversity and adaptability to environmental changes derived from global warming are challenges for the future of agriculture. In this sense, landraces often have high levels of genetic variation, tightly connected ...

[EN] Larix decidua, the European larch, does not grow in natural saline areas, but it can be affected by salinity either by the common practice of winter de-icing of mountain roads with NaCl, or when grown as an ornamental ...

Accumulation of compatible solutes or osmolytes is a general response of plants to abiotic stress conditions, but we still have very limited knowledge on the relevance of this response for stress tolerance mechanisms of ...

[EN] Erigeron bonariensis and E. sumatrensis are two noxious weeds present in many parts of the world. Their tolerance to salinity and water deficit was analysed at the seed germination stage and during vegetative development. ...

[EN] Drought is the most important single environmental stress factor that reduces crop yields worldwide. In the context of global climate change, selection and/or development of drought-resistant varieties of cultivated ...

[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 ...

[ES] El aumento constante de la población mundial hace que sea necesario un aumento en la producción de alimentos. Uno de los principales factores limitantes a la hora de aumentar la producción es la salinización de aguas ...

[EN] Salinity and water shortages are two of the biggest environmental constraints that crops have to face in the climate change scenario. A fast and efficient way to overcome these stresses under the prism of a sustainable ...

Aims Responses to salt stress of two Gypsophila species that share territory, but with different ecological optima and distribution ranges, were analysed. G. struthium is a regionally dominant Iberian endemic gypsophyte, ...
