The halophytes are plant species that have particular morpho-anatomical characteristics that allow them to complete their biological cycles in an environment that has very stringent conditions. In general, in these species, ...

Host plant shifts in herbivorous insects often involve facing new environments that may speed up the evolution of oviposition behavior, performance-related traits, morphology, and, incidentally, reproductive isolation. In ...

The agronomic effects of drought on forage species and grassland are related with productivity and pasture persistence. The water shortage produce a growth reduction caused by decreased turgor at cellular level, changes ...

Seedling morphology is relevant in classification, taxonomy, and vegetation studies to understand plant life cycles, germination succession and requirements, and developmental progression. However, most morphological studies ...

Light is a critical source of information for plants. Plants use the phytochromes (particularly phyB) to detect light signals associated with the proximity of competitors. A low ratio of red (R) to far-red (FR) radiation ...
