Despite intense research on the in vitro characterization of regulatory factors modulating the
alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway, the regulation of its activity in vivo is still not fully …

The present study aims to unravel ecophysiological mechanisms underlying plant-microbe
interactions under natural abiotic stress conditions, specifically heavy metal pollution. Effect …

The tomato is well-known for its anti-oxidative and anti-cancer properties, and with a wide
range of health benefits is an important cash crop for human well-being. However …

Background Soil salt stress is a problem in the world, which turns into one of the main
limiting factors hindering maize production. Salinity significantly affects root physiological …

The global need for increased food production means that agriculture is moving into regions
with lower rainfall and saline soils, which occupy over 6% of the world land area (Munns …

Mesophyll conductance (gm), the diffusion of CO 2 from substomatal cavities to the
carboxylation sites in the chloroplasts, is a highly complex trait driving photosynthesis (net …
