S ummary Seedlings of Betula spp. were grown in conjunction with isolates Amanita muscaria Hooker and Paxillus involutus Fr. under aseptic conditions. Mycorrhizas established sterilized peat vermiculite to which nutrient media had been added. Zinc was supplied at various levels growth the host assessed after eight weeks. The mycorrhizas increased tolerance Zn both tolerant non‐tolerant . This coupled a reduction translocation zinc shoots , but an accumulation mycorrhizas.
Both Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play critical signaling roles in plant responses to biotic abiotic stress. However, the positioning of ROS (in particular H2O2) after a stress stimulus their subcellular interactions are poorly understood. Moreover, although information can be encoded different patterns cellular signals, little is known about spatiotemporal production or significance for downstream responses. Here, we show that response hyperosmotic embryonic cells alga Fucus...
The brown seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus is an emerging model species distributed worldwide in temperate coastal ecosystems. Over 1500 strains of E. are available culture from a broad range geographic locations and ecological niches. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its capacity to cope with different environmental biotic stressors, genomic transcriptomic studies necessary; this requires co-isolation DNA total RNA. In algae, extraction nucleic acids hindered by high...

• A comparative study of copper (Cu) toxicity and tolerance in three populations Fucus serratus was conducted by examining Cu2+ effects on various physiological parameters. Chlorophyll fluorescence, oxygen evolution, content, relative growth rate embryos adults were measured Cu2+-exposed material. Algae naturally exposed to elevated total Cu concentration (CuT), more resistant than those from clean sites, as indicated higher embryo adult rates lower contents. The F. is at least partly...
