Soil salinity is among the major abiotic stresses that plants must face, mainly in arid and semiarid re-gions, high tolerance an important agronomic trait to sustain food production. Agricul-tural soils are unstable subject changes level, monitoring them at both local regional scale a relevant activity adopt soil water management strategies decrease salt concentration root zone, thus minimizing...

Panicum coloratum var. is a subtropical grass for potentially increasing forage production in lowly productive environments where cattle-raising activities have been relocated. Heritability was estimated characters related to salinity tolerance under saline and non-saline conditions explore the possibility of improving by selection. From base germplasm collected very harsh environment, heritabi...

Metallic dental implants are exposed to various intraoral environments and repetitive loads during service. Relatively few studies have systematically addressed the potential influence of the environment on the mechanical integrity of the implants, which is therefore the subject of this study. Four media (groups) were selected for room temperature testing, namely dry air, saliva substitute, sam...

Water salinity is an intense physiological stress for amphibians. However, some species, such as Bufo calamita, breed in both brackish and freshwater environments. Because selection under environmentally stressful conditions can promote local adaptation of populations, we examined the existence of geographic variation in water salinity tolerance among B. calamita populations from either fresh o...

Local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity are two alternative mechanisms used by invasive plants for range expansion. We conducted a series of experiments to investigate the role of these mechanisms in the recent expansion of the invasive Ipomoea cairica from non-saline to salt-stressed coastal habitats. A comparison of the plant's photosynthetic traits and construction costs across habitats w...

background: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) have the potential to optimize the rhizospheric soil characteristics considerably thereby affecting plant growth. objectives: the aim is to investigate the effects of fungi inoculation (glomus intraradices) on morphological, physiological and phytochemical traits of rosemary (rosemarinus officinalis l.) under salt stress. methods: a factorial exper...

Abstract Background Salinization damages the health of soil systems and reduces crop yields. Responses microbial communities to salinized soils their functional maintenance under high salt stress are valuable scientific problems. Meanwhile, community in plateau environment is less understood. Here, we applied metagenomics technology reveal structure function microorganisms Tibetan Plateau. Resu...

The gammaproteobacterium Marinobacter vinifirmus is associated with moderately saline environments and is often found in marine ecosystems. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. vinifirmus type strain FB1 (3.8 Mbp, 3,588 predicted genes). The presented sequence will improve our understanding of the taxonomy and evolution of the genus Marinobacter.
