Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation by salt stress in sunflower leaves
TL;DR: Chlorophyllase is stimulated during the first days in leaves under moderate stress but it is affected by high salt concentrations, and salt stress affects more drastically chlorophyll synthesis (decreasing ALA synthesis) than chlorophyLLase-mediated degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two new nuclear isolation buffers for plant DNA flow cytometry: a test with 37 species.
TL;DR: WPB is a reliable buffer which is also suitable for the analysis of problematic tissues/species, although GPB failed with some plant species, it provided high-quality DNA histograms in species from which nuclear suspensions are easy to prepare.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium toxicity affects photosynthesis and plant growth at different levels
Maria Celeste Dias,Cristina Monteiro,José Moutinho-Pereira,Carlos Correia,Berta Gonçalves,Conceição Santos +5 more
TL;DR: Increasing concentrations of this metal promoted a strong reduction of the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII and an impairment of net CO2 assimilation rate, which ultimately results in a strong inhibition of plant growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of four nuclear isolation buffers for plant DNA flow cytometry.
TL;DR: Each lysis buffer tested responded to a specific problem differently and none of the buffers worked best with all species, so selection of the most appropriate buffer depending on species, tissue type and the presence of cytosolic compounds interfering with DNA staining is facilitated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of biomarkers of cadmium stress in lettuce.
TL;DR: Biochemical alterations could be used in integrative approaches with classical endpoints in ecotoxicological tests for Cd and after further testing in real scenarios conditions, they could form the basis of a plant biomarkers battery for monitoring and predicting early effects of exposure to Cd.
