Sodium exclusion as a key trait for maize adaptation to salinity: Relationship with photosynthetic efficiency and membrane integrity

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Maize is widely used for human consumption but its cultivation is hampered by salinity. Photosynthetic activity and hence, growth are adversely affected by salt stress due to salt accumulation in the plant tissues.

Systems Biology of Cold Adaptation in the Polyextremophilic Red Alga Galdieria sulphuraria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Rapid fluctuation of environmental conditions can impose severe stress upon living organisms. Surviving such episodes of stress requires a rapid acclimation response, e.g., by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms.
