Researchers have discovered a salt adaptation mechanism in plants that facilitates chloride removal from the roots and enhancing salinity tolerance. A research team has uncovered a novel mechanism of ...

Unfavourable environmental conditions represent considerable stress for plants. A high level of salt content (sodium chloride, NaCl) in the soil is for example just such a stressor which has a ...

Salt stress is a major abiotic constraint that affects plant growth, development and productivity on a global scale. Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms—from maintaining ion homeostasis ...

Plants are increasingly encountering abiotic stressors, such as salinity, drought, heavy metals, microplastics, and various environmental contaminants, that ...

Plant biology has long recognized the significance of surface lipid barriers—namely cuticles and suberin—as fundamental adaptations for terrestrial life.

The Secret Language of Plant Stress Signals When plants face stress, they activate a signaling cascade involving multiple molecules like hydrogen peroxide and plant hormones such as salicylic acid, ...

Abiotic stress occurs due to high salinity, drought, extreme temperatures, mineral deficiencies, presence of heavy metals, and ultraviolet rays. It leads to a chain of molecular, physiological, ...

Salt pollution from road deicing salts threatens freshwater ecosystems and urban green infrastructure. New research on salt-tolerant plants like cattails highlights their potential role in mitigating ...
