Chlorophyll a fluorescence is increasingly being used as a rapid, non-invasive, sensitive
and convenient indicator of photosynthetic performance in marine autotrophs. This review …

Water availability is a main limiting factor for plant growth, development, and distribution
throughout the world. Stomatal movement mediated by abscisic acid (ABA) is particularly …

Brassinosteroids are promising agents for alleviating the negative effects of salinity on
plants, but the mechanism of their protective action is far from being understood. We …

Intertidal macroalgae are highly resistant to hypersaline stress conditions. However, the
underlying mechanism remains unknown. In the present study, the mechanism behind …

Rice is susceptible to salt stress at the seedling stage. To explore the molecular
mechanisms underlying salt tolerance, the metabolic responses to salt stress were …

Abstract Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit. is one of the popular medicinal plants and industrial
crops in China, but its production has been severely limited by continuous cropping …

Ulva prolifera is a macroalgae that forms massive blooms, negatively impacting natural
communities, aquaculture operations and recreation. The effects of the natural products …

Main conclusion Desiccation leads to structural changes of the inner pectic cell wall layers in
Ulva compressa. This contributes to protection against mechanical damage due to …

Water restriction is one of the major world limitations for growth and survival of
photosynthetic organisms, carbon assimilation and growth being the primary processes …

Pyropia yezoensis (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) is a representative species of high‐intertidal
macroalgae, whose blades can tolerate extreme stresses, such as salt stress and …
