Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses that involve most plants and Glomeromycota fungi are
integral and functional parts of plant roots. In these associations, the fungi not only colonize …

Abiotic stresses (such as salinity, drought, cold, heat, mineral deficiency and
metals/metalloids) have become major threats to the global agricultural production. These …

Mining activities generally decrease topsoil and vegetation, reduce soil biodiversity, and
yield extremely harsh environmental conditions, which in turn limit natural revegetation and …

Monitoring molecular dynamics of an organism upon stress is probably the best approach to
decipher physiological mechanisms involved in the stress response. Quantitative analysis of …

The acerbic elevation of toxic metal ions in arable lands, enhance the risk of their
accumulation and biomagnification in crops as well as in humans. Phytoremediation is an …

We adopted a deep sequencing approach developed by Solexa (Illumina Inc., San Diego,
CA, USA) to investigate global expression and complexity of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their …

Although the viable but not culturable (VBNC) state has been studied in detail in bacteria, it
has been suggested that maintenance of viability with loss of culturability also exists in …

The ectoparasitic dagger nematode (Xiphinema index), vector of Grapevine fanleaf virus
(GFLV), provokes gall formation and can cause severe damage to the root system of …

Uranium phytoextraction is a promising technology, however, facing difficult that limited plant
biomass due to nutrient deficiency in the contaminated sites. The aim of this study is to …

Polyamines (PAs) are found in all living organisms and serve many vital physiological
processes. In plants, PAs are ubiquitous in plant growth, physiology, reproduction, and yield …
