The role of biostimulants in resilience to salinity in tomato
Aim: The function of different biostimulants into salt stress resilience in tomato.
For plants to be resilient to abiotic stresses like salt stress an drought, the root system is of vital importance. Roots are the primary organs ...

Identifying loci that regulate seed dormancy and seed longevity
Two major characteristics that control seed quality are seed dormancy and seed longevity (storability). Knowledge on the genetic control of dormancy and seed longevity is essential to breed varieties that have the required level o ...

Role of seed proteins in protecting mRNA
Seeds can survive for many years, despite exposure to different environmental stresses. Messenger (m)RNAs are stored in the seed and crucial for its germination, but are also vulnerable to these stresses. Therefore, protecting the ...

Mineral nutrient compositon changes of Lettuce under salt stress
Plants under salt stress suffer severe changes to their nutrient uptake, which alters their nutrient composition. While some ions are taken up more due to their higher availability, others are less so due to higher competition wit ...
