Transcriptomic profiling of genes in matured dimorphic seeds of euhalophyte Suaeda salsa
Background Suaeda salsa (S. salsa) is a euhalophyte with high economic value. S. salsa can produce dimorphic seeds. Brown seeds are more salt tolerant, can germinate quickly and maintain the fitness of the species under high saline conditions.

Methods for grafting Arabidopsis thaliana and Eutrema salsugineum
Background Grafting, an ancient agronomic technique, is an artificial mode of asexual reproduction in plants. Recently, grafting research has gradually shifted from modifying agronomic traits to the study of molecular mechanism.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Halophyte Zoysia macrostachya in Response to Salinity Stress
As one of the most severe environmental stresses, salt stress can cause a series of changes in plants. In salt tolerant plant Zoysia macrostachya, germination, physiology, and genetic variation under salinity have been studied previously, and the ...

Adaptative Mechanisms of Halophytic Eutrema salsugineum Encountering Saline Environment
Salt cress (Eutrema salsugineum), an Arabidopsis-related halophyte, can naturally adapt to various harsh climates and soil conditions; thus, it is considered a desirable model plant for deciphering mechanisms of salt and other abiotic stresses ...
