Abstract Determining the responses of candidate plants to salt stress is a prerequisite for selecting and breeding suitable with high tolerance grow in coastal mudflat areas salinity. Here, 2-year cutting seedlings Ilex purpurea Hassk. (local species) I. integra Thunb. (introduced were grown pots glasshouse irrigated Hoagland-NaCl solution at 0, 24, 48 h. Root samples collected 1, 6, 72 h, conc...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Dominant tree species in northern temperate forests, for example oak and beech, produce desiccation-sensitive seeds. Despite the potentially major influence of this functional trait on the regeneration and distribution of species under climate change, little is currently known about the ecological determinants of the persistence of desiccation-sensitive seeds in transient so...

The hollies (Ilex L., Aquifoliaceae) form a large (>669 spp.) genus of forest trees and shrubs, which is almost cosmopolitan in mesic environments but most diverse subtropical China montane South America. Throughout the range genus, Ilex species have been utilized as beverages, medicines, ornamentals, honey plants, timber, for various other minor uses. Recent studies on genomics, evolution, ...

Specific functional traits such as shade tolerance or leaf habits can enhance root growth dynamics and structure of planted seedlings in the understory forests. We assessed how low moderate light levels (17 33% full sunlight, mimicking after-thinning stocking) affect four late successional trees, three deciduous (Acer monspessulanum L., Quercus pyrenaica Willd Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz) one...

ABSTRACT: The Ilex paraguariensis is a species native to Brazil, Paraguay and Argentine, valued by its positive effects on human health. Mate processing consists of the following stages: pre-drying (rapid drying at high temperature, known as sapeco operation), drying, milling. In order verify current process propose future improvements mate processing, thermal mass balance analysis were applied...
