Modelling Three-Dimensional Leaf Shape Variation
L-Cucumber’s leaf prototype mimics leaf shape of stressed plants.

Rice chloroplasts become more spherical under salt stress
Though the cause isn’t clear, the chloroplasts may be reacting to carbon dioxide or light levels.

Exploring the salt tolerance of the Nona Bokra rice landrace
Salt stress is a major limiting factor for crop production across the world. Rice is particularly sensitive to salinity, with both plant growth and grain yield significantly impaired under saline conditions. However...

What happens when a vampire plant ‘bites’ two victims at once?
When the parasitic plant dodder attacks two plants, stress felt by one victim can be passed to the other.

Domestication influences morphological and physiological responses to salinity in Brassica oleracea seedlings
Wild germplasm can potentially be used to improve the salt tolerance of crops by the identification of useful genes and incorporation of these into salinity-sensitive cultivars.
Rising tides bring rising salinity to coastal plants, but will they cope?
Rising sea levels mean increased salinity for plants on the shore, but how well do coastal plants cope with salt? New research says they're surprisingly bad at it.
Night-time transpiration facilitates respiratory carbon dioxide release
Night-time transpiration accounts for a considerable amount of water loss in crop plants, yet its biological function, regulation and response to salt stress are poorly understood. Even et al. present data on barley...

Not one, but two second messengers?
Confusingly, a second second messenger is not a third messenger.

Antioxidant responses under salinity and drought in three wild monocots
Some deleterious effects of drought, soil salinity and other abiotic stresses are mediated by the generation of oxidative stress through an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cellular membranes...

Seed germination under osmotic and salt stresses
Seed germination under osmotic and salt stresses Most genetic studies on the effects of water and salt stresses on seed germination have used conditions that are more extreme than those found in nature. Vallejo et al...
