The accumulation of compatible solutes is a prerequisite for the adaptation of
microorganisms to osmotic stress imposed by salt or organic solutes. Two types of strategies …

The osmolality of rhizosphere soil water is expected to be elevated in relation to bulk-soil
water osmolality as a result of the exclusion of solutes by plant roots during water uptake, the …

Proline has long been known to accumulate in plants experiencing water limitation and this
has driven studies of proline as a beneficial solute allowing plants to increase cellular …

La présente synthèse comporte une analyse critique et détaillée des connaissances issues
des études physiologiques et environnementales reliées aux interactions de l'Azospirillum …

Drought is a major limiting factor of crop productivity worldwide and its incidence is predicted
to increase under climate change. Drought adaptation of cool-season grasses is thus a …

The costs associated with soil salinity are potentially enormous and the effects of salinity
may impact heavily on agriculture, biodiversity and the environment. As the saline areas …

As saline soils dry, the salt in the remaining solution phase is concentrated and the microbes
are subjected to both water and osmotic stress. However, little is known about the interactive …

One of the most severe and widespread problems facing the agricultural industry is the
degradation of soil quality due to desiccation and salinity. In fact, almost 40% of the world's …

The moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus is the paradigm for chloride dependent
growth in prokaryotes. Recent experiments shed light on the molecular basis of the chloride …

The mechanism of osmotic stress adaptation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was
investigated. By using natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy …
