Where do halophytes grow? Influence of elevation, flooding, and salinity in a non-tidal saltmarsh
Unpredictability means that the traits needed to survive in seasonally flooded marshes are different to tidally flooded marshes.
The SAUR41 subfamily of genes is involved in cell expansion and salt tolerance
The SAUR41 genes are ABA inducible and active during seedling establishment.
Seedling responses to salinity of 26 Neotropical tree species
How will coastal ecosystems change when some seedling can tolerate rising tides, and others cannot?
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.

Enhancing the acid-soil tolerance of durum wheat
A fragment of the 4D chromosome containing TaALMT1, introgressed into an elite durum cultivar, shows that the fragment enhances root growth in acid soil.
