Since the ecosystem is contaminated by lead, decontamination is a difficult and expensive process. Therefore, an alternative would be the use of phytoremediation plants, which have been studied more intensely in recent ...

Nowadays, soil salinity is the most unfavourable abiotic factors for plant growth, causing important yield loss of many crops. A partial solution to this situation is to establish crop varieties in these areas affected ...

Global warming has caused an increase in ambient temperature in Antarctica, which has led to changes in water availability due to increases of precipitation and the melting of permafrost. This scenario of climate change ...

This study evaluated the physiological and anatomical traits of two contrasting maize hybrids subjected to high density sowing in order to explain yield stability through yield component analysis and the relation between ...

Phytochromes (PHYs) have long been associated with classic photomorphogenic responses and recently implied with the regulation of plant productivity. We aimed to characterize these links in an important agronomic crop such ...

The insect fat body is the main organ of the intermediate metabolism of insects. The majority of proteins of the haemolymph is synthesized in this tissue, which also presents the functions of lipids, carbohydrates and ...
