Heterogeneous Stress Driven by Environmental Filtering Maintains Plant Diversity Along an Arid Riparian Gradient. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEnvironmental stress is generally expected to reduce biodiversity, yet its effects under spatially heterogeneous conditions remain unclear. Along an arid riparian gradient of the Ulungur River, we show that local herbaceous plant diversity peaks in downstream reaches despite severe salinization–alkalization and phosphorus limitation, driven by ...

Polyamines in Halophytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Polyamines (PAs) are related to many aspects of the plant's life cycle, including responses to biotic and abiotic stress. On the other hand, halophytic plants are useful models for studying salt tolerance mechanisms related to the adaptive strategies that these plants present in adverse environments.

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 Much is already known about the function and functioning of the three genes that make up the SOS (Salt-Overly-Sensitive) pathway in plants, but recent studies indicate that the linkage between external increases in salinity and stress protection provided by genes SOS1, SOS2 and SOS3 is more complex than previously appreciated.

Stoichiometry and Homeostasis of Sodium and Potassium Underpins Growth Adaptation of <i>Suaeda salsa</i> in the Yellow River Delta Wetland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolNa‐K stoichiometry significantly affected by soil and plant tissues of S. salsa; robust plant tissue Na‐K homeostasis contrasts with weak soil–plant ion coupling; coordinated Na‐K regulation underlies salt adaptation in Suaeda salsa. ABSTRACT Sodium (Na) and potassium (K), along with their physiological trade‐offs, play essential roles in maintaining ...

Halophytes As Bioenergy Crops [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Shrinking arable land due to soil salinization and, depleting fresh water resources pose serious worldwide constraints to crop productivity. A vision of using plant feedstock for biofuel production can only be realized if we can identify alternate species that can be grown on saline soils and therefore, would not compete for the resources required for ...

Classifying halophytes and halophytic vegetation – an Editorial
Phytocoenologia, 2016 As an introduction to the Special Issue "Halophytic vegetation", which includes four research studies and one review article, this Editorial briefly touches on problems, challenges and solution approaches related to the classification of vegetation associated with coastal and inland saline habitats. Three central issues, addressed in this introduction,

Ultrastructure changes of seedlings of Kosteletzkya virginica under waterlogging conditions
Biologia Plantarum, 2011 The changes in ultrastructure of leaf cell in waterlogged Kosteletzkya virginica seedlings were observed by transmission electron microscope. During waterlogging, the chloroplasts turned into a round shape and their volume was gradually reduced ...
