Phylogenies are important for addressing various biological questions such as relationships
among species or genes, the origin and spread of viral infection and the demographic …

Salinity is one of the most severe environmental stress as it decreases crop production of
more than 20% of irrigated land worldwide. Hence, it is important to develop salt-tolerant …

Plants, like all other organisms, have evolved different mechanisms to maintain
physiological concentrations of essential metal ions and to minimize exposure to non …

Typically at dawn on a hot summer day, land plants need precise molecular thermometers to
sense harmless increments in the ambient temperature to induce a timely heat shock …

Metal transporters are a central component in the interaction of algae with their environment.
They represent the first line of defense to cellular perturbations in metal concentration, and …

All organisms have evolved strategies to regulate ion and pH homeostasis in response to
developmental and environmental cues. One strategy is mediated by monovalent cation …

Vacuoles in vegetative tissues allow the plant surface to expand by accumulating
energetically cheap inorganic osmolytes, and thereby optimize the plant for absorption of …

Plants respond to low-nutrient conditions through metabolic and morphology changes that
increase their ability to survive and grow. The transcription factor RAP2. 11 was identified as …

This article deals with the advances and implication of phytoremediation technologies with
emphasis on remediation of toxic heavy metals from contaminated soil. Most of the …
