TL;DR: Nodal root/shoot ratios indicated the major factor limiting shoot growth of wheat was the small mass of nodal roots per plant, however, a possible additional factor is the poor function of nodsal roots of wheat and triticale in waterlogged soil.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the growth of A. amnicola at 400 mol m−3 NaCl is not limited by the availability of photosynthate in the plant as a whole, however, there could have been a growth limitation due to inadequate organic solutes for osmotic regulation.

TL;DR: Kafirin-based films incorporating citral and quercetin have potential as bioactive packaging to improve food safety and quality and antimicrobial properties against Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter jejuni.

TL;DR: The greater number and length of nodal roots of Muir did not lead to better shoot growth than in the other genotypes; one possible reason for this lack of improvement is a low eciency of aerenchymatous roots in wheat.

TL;DR: Analysis of differential expression showed that acidophilic microorganisms adopted several changes in their proteomes in the presence of chloride ions, suggesting the following strategies to combat the NaCl stress: adaptation of the cell membrane, the accumulation of amino acids possibly as a form of osmoprotectant, and the expression of a YceI family protein involved in acid and osmotic-related stress.
