Salinity is one of the major environmental stresses for plants (Greenway and Munns, 1980). Based on their ability to grow on salt medium, plants, including crop species, are traditionally classified as glycophytes, showing the effects of salt at concentrations less than 50 mM, or halophytes which can complete their life cycles at 500 mM (Flowers, 1985; Maas, 1986). Although glycophytes generall...

Abstract For the unconstrained optimization of black box functions, this paper introduces a new randomized algorithm called . In practice, matches quality other state-of-the-art algorithms for finding, in small and large dimensions, local minimizer with reasonable accuracy. Although our theory guarantees only minimizers heuristic techniques turn into an efficient global solver. very thorough nu...
