Mechanisms of Salt Tolerance and Molecular Breeding of Salt-Tolerant Ornamental Plants
As the area of salinized soils increases, and freshwater becomes more scarcer worldwide, an urgent measure for agricultural production is to use salinized land and conserve freshwater resources.

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 ...

An analytic form for the pair distribution function and rheology of a dilute suspension of rough spheres in plane strain flow [PDF]
The effect of particle-particle contact on the stress of a suspension of small spheres in plane strain flow is investigated. We provide an analytic form for the particle pair distribution function in the case of no Brownian motion, and calculate the ...

C2H2 Zinc Finger Proteins: Master Regulators of Abiotic Stress Responses in Plants
Abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity are major environmental factors that limit crop yields. Unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying abiotic stress resistance is crucial for improving crop performance and increasing productivity under ...

Experimental evidence of non-Amontons behaviour at a multicontact interface [PDF]
We report on normal stress field measurements at the multicontact interface between a rough elastomeric film and a smooth glass sphere under normal load, using an original MEMS-based stress sensing device.

Effects of combined application of compound fertilizer and biochar on absorption and utilization of phosphorus by wheat [PDF]
Unreasonable fertilization practices are still applied in agricultural production, resulting in reduced crop yields and wasting resources. Therefore, it is essential to optimize fertilization regimes to improve the nutrient absorption capacity of crops ...

Normal stresses in elastic networks
When loaded in simple shear deformation, polymeric materials may develop so-called normal stresses: stresses perpendicular to the direction of the applied shear. These normal stresses are intrinsically nonlinear: basic symmetry considerations dictate they may only enter at O(γ(2)), with γ the dimensionless shear strain.
