For most plants, elevated salinities can promote both hyperionic and hyperosmotic stress,
often resulting in decreased growth and increased mortality. In previous studies involving …

Plants are subjected to salt and drought stresses concurrently but our knowledge about the
effects of combined stress on plants is limited, especially on halophytes. We aim to study if …

Salinity and waterlogging stresses have catastrophic effects on plants. Physiological and
molecular mechanisms of plant responses to individual salinity and waterlogging stresses …

Abiotic environmental stresses can give rise to morphological, biochemical and molecular
changes that negatively affect plant growth and productivity. Among these stresses, soil …

Halophytes residing in tidal marshes are often subjected to intense and varying
environmental demands. These variations may occur in a matter of hours, with tidal-induced …

Salt stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors affecting plant growth and
productivity in natural ecosystems. In this study, we aimed at determining possible …

Salinity tolerance in plant species varies widely due to adaptation and acclimation
processes at the cellular and whole-plant scales. In mangroves, extreme substrate salinity …

Spartina patens (Ait.) Muhl. is a grass native to the Atlantic coastal area of North America
currently invading salt marsh ecosystems in several regions of Europe. We investigated leaf …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stress factors that drastically reduces agricultural
productivity. In natural environments salinity often occurs together with other stresses such …

Panicum hemitomon, Spartina patens, and Spartina alterniflora are wide-spread dominant
grasses of fresh, brackish, and salt marsh plant communities, respectively. Our previous …
