Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism and physiology. For instance it
inhibits photosynthesis through stomatal limitation, causes excessive accumulation of …

Salt stress causes decrease in plant growth and productivity by disrupting physiological
processes, especially photosynthesis. The accumulation of intracellular sodium ions at salt …

High and changing salt concentrations represent major abiotic factors limiting the growth of
microorganisms. During their long evolution, cyanobacteria have adapted to aquatic habitats …

Recent studies of responses of cyanobacterial cells to salt stress have revealed that the
NaCl-induced decline in the photosynthetic activities of photosystems II and I involves rapid …

Background and Aims Populus euphratica is a light-demanding species ecologically
characterized as a pioneer. It grows in shelter belts along riversides, being part of the natural …

In addition to the linear electron transport, several alternative Photosystem I-driven (PS I)
electron pathways recycle the electrons to the intersystem electron carriers mediated by …

Algal ecology, physiology and biochemistry have been reviewed extensively over the
decades. Contributions by Lewin (1962), Carr & Whitton (1973) and Fogg (1975) are just a …

In extremely acidic lakes, low primary production rates have been measured. We assumed
that proton stress might explain these observations and therefore investigated the …

Effects of cadmium (Cd) on the growth and photosynthesis of the bloom-forming
cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz 854 were investigated. The growth was …

The changes in pigment composition, photosynthesis and PSII photochemistry were
investigated in cells of Spirulina platensis adapted to salt stress (< 0.75 M NaCl). A decrease …
