Abstract

To examine the factors that affect tolerance to high internal salt concentrations, two tetraploid wheat genotypes that differ in the degree of salt-induced leaf injury (Wollaroi and Line 455) were grown in 150 mM NaCl for 4 weeks. Shoot biomass of both genotypes was substantially reduced by salinity, but genotypic differences appeared only after 3 weeks, when durum cultivar Wollaroi showed greater leaf injury and a greater reduction in biomass than Line 455. Ion accumulation, water relations, chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange were followed on one leaf (leaf 3) throughout its life. Salinity caused a large decrease in stomatal conductance (gs) of both genotypes. This was not due to poor water relations, as leaf turgor of both genotypes was higher in the salt treatment than in controls, so chemical signals were likely to have caused the decrease in gs. Reductions in assimilation rate were initially due to gs and, with time, were due to a combination of stomatal and non-stomatal limitations. The non-stomatal limitations were associated with a build up of Na+ above 250 mM. The efficiency of PSII photochemistry in Line 455 was unaffected throughout. However, in Wollaroi, the potential and actual quantum yield of PSII photoche...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
