Adaptation of Plants to Salinity

Plants in Action: Adaptation in Nature, Performance in Cultivation

training systems, a problem that every grower will solve in his own way. In Part 2, this kind of trivialities are lacking. The subject matter is reviewed always in a similar manner, which makes ®nding something or comparing various fruits very easy. After a few remarks on origin, distribution and botanical name, under the heading `key points' a number of important aspects on cultivation, storag...

Calcium Efflux Systems in Stress Signaling and Adaptation in Plants

Transient cytosolic calcium ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) elevation is an ubiquitous denominator of the signaling network when plants are exposed to literally every known abiotic and biotic stress. These stress-induced [Ca(2+)](cyt) elevations vary in magnitude, frequency, and shape, depending on the severity of the stress as well the type of stress experienced. This creates a unique stress-specific calcium ...

A Meta-Analysis of Local Adaptation in Plants

Local adaptation is of fundamental importance in evolutionary, population, conservation, and global-change biology. The generality of local adaptation in plants and whether and how it is influenced by specific species, population and habitat characteristics have, however, not been quantitatively reviewed. Therefore, we examined published data on the outcomes of reciprocal transplant experiments...

Adaptation to metals in widespread and endemic plants.

Bryophytes, including the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, occur in a variety of habitats with high concentrations of metals and have other characteristics that are advantageous for studies of metal tolerance. Mosses may evolve genetically specialized, metal-tolerant races less frequently than flowering plants. Some species of mosses appear to have inherently high levels of metal tolerance ev...
