Humic acid overcomes salinity barriers and stimulates growth of Urochondra setulosa by altering ion-flux and photochemis...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Humic acid (HA) is a known bio-stimulator, but its role in salinity tolerance is not well reported. This study examined the effect of HA (0, 250 and 500 mg L−1) on growth, water relation, ion-flux and chlorophyll fluorescence of Urochondra setulosa treated with 0 (control), 300 (moderate salinity) and 600 (high salinity) mM NaCl. HA application sig...
Melatonin improves salinity stress tolerance of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Pak by changing antioxidant enzymes and photos...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Plants face many stresses in their natural environment. Different types of phytohormones help the plant to adapt to stressful conditions. Melatonin is a newly known substance in the plant kingdom, that is effective in relieving stress for plants. In this study, the effect of melatonin on Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Pak that was exposed to salinity st...
Effects of varying temperature on rhythmic expression of abiotic stress-responding genes in Tibetan hulless barley
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum hook. f.) is an oriental barley cultivar that is primarily grown in the regions around the Tibet–Qinghai plateau. The circadian clock is an endogenous time-keeping system that plays important roles in modulating the tolerance of plants to abiotic stresses. While the manner in which the circadian...
Morphophysiology and cryopreservation of seeds of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. (Orchidaceae) at different stages of developm...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Key messageThe immature seeds of Dendrobium nobile acquire resistance to freezing and long-term storage in a cryobank at the age of 6 months after pollination.AbstractSeed maturation of Dendrobium nobile Lindl to establish the optimal stage for long-term storage of immature seeds in liquid nitrogen was studied. Immature seeds can germinate in vitro...
Evaluation of the effects of late-season fertilization on the growth, physiology, and nutritional status of Alnus formos...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Alnus formosana (Burkill) Makino is an important tree species used in natural protection forest engineering and for returning crop plots to forest in the southern China. Fertilizer application management is important to the implementation of these projects, and rational fertilization is related to their success. Recent studies have shown that late-...
Expression analysis of transcription-factor genes related to endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway in alfalfa (...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Identification of genes playing a role in stress tolerance has great importance in the elucidation of biotic and abiotic plant stress pathways. In this study, comparative analysis was carried out for genes (bZIP60 and bZIP28) activated during ER stress response in plant root and leaf tissues. The relative water content (RWC) of the plant leaves gro...
Response of physiological integration in the clonal herb Zoysia japonica to heterogeneous water conditions
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Physiological integration may be an important ecological strategy for clonal plants living in heterogeneous environments. The physiological integration between Zoysia japonica parent and offspring ramets under different experimental water conditions was examined. We applied four treatments: (1) both the parents and offspring were well watered, (2) ...
Comparative growth, peroxidase activity and 2-D proteome analyses of halophytic and xerophytic species of Haloxylon unde...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Differential NaCl tolerance efficiency of salt-tolerant Haloxylon recurvum and drought-tolerant Haloxylon salicornicum was investigated in the present study. The analyses were based on growth, peroxidase activity and 2-D protein profiling of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mM NaCl treated cotyledonary nodes and shoots of both the species. NaCl promoted t...
Genetic diversity and population structure analysis to study the evolution of herbicide resistance in Echinochloa colona...
Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Echinochloa species is the most competitive and difficult to control weed in agricultural crops. It causes significant economical crop yield losses across the world. Echinochloa ecotypes possess great variability and thereby significantly reduce the efficacy of different herbicides. For effective control and reducing the competition for nutrients a...
