In the last talk of this conference, Joanne Walters-Wayland will discuss a continuum of minimizable properties of sublocales of a (completely regular) locale. By that is meant a property P such that above any dense sublocale S of a locale L there is a least sublocale having property P. Such properties induce a contraction of the lattice of prenuclei of the frame, i.e., an order-preserving map w...

A hybrid cordgrass, formed from a cross between Spartina alterniflora (Atlantic cordgrass) and S. foliosa (Pacific cordgrass), has recently spread within the intertidal zone of south San Francisco Bay. Sediment properties and macroinfaunal community structure were compared in patches invaded by Spartina hybrid and adjacent uninvaded patches at 3 sites in San Francisco Bay (2 tidal flats and 1 S...

Modern agriculture faces pressing problems, such as salinization that is a very common, but difficult to control and ameliorate process. Non-enzymatic compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids are generally stimulated in response to bio-tic/abiotic stresses such as salinity (1). Halophytes are naturally salt-tolerant plants that may be potentially useful for economical (oilseed, forage, prod...

Floristic investigations on the eastern part of Adriatic coast in Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina led to discovery three glasswort taxa new for area: Arthrocaulon macrostachyum (Moric.) Piirainen et G. Kadereit Salicornia procumbens Sm. subsp. S. perennis Mill. All were recorded abandoned basins Tivat Saline Montenegro, while was also found Klek Peninsula Hercegovina. According IUCN criteria,...

Euhalophyte Salicornia europaea L., one of the most salt-tolerant plant species in the world, can tolerate more than 1000 mM NaCl. To study the salt tolerance mechanism of this plant, the effects of different NaCl concentrations on plant growth, as well as Na(+) accumulation and distribution at organ, tissue, and subcellular levels, were investigated. Optimal growth and an improved photosynthet...

The genus Salicornia (Amaranthaceae) was established by Linnaeus. Commonly known as ‘glassworts’, the species of are articulated succulent herbs with cortical palisade, opposite decussate scale-leaves, thyrsoid cymes, flowers packed in cauline depressions and diaspore composed l-seeded utricle. Therefore, due to importance plant species, we performed a combination morphological molecular data a...
