Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) exert a vital role in promoting plant growth, improving mineral absorption, biological disease control, and enhancing plant stress resistance. The effects of dark septate endophyte strain, Phialocephala bamuru A024 on damping-off biocontrol, plant development,

We investigated the interaction of rhizospheric nitric oxide (NO) concentration (i.e. low, ambient or high) and soil nitrogen (N) availability (i.e. low or high) with organic and inorganic N uptake by fine roots of Pinus sylvestris L. seedlings by (15) N feeding experiments under controlled

Seasonal changes in amino acids, protein and total nitrogen in needles of 30-year-old, fertilized Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees growing in Northern Sweden were investigated over two years in field experiments. The studied plots had been fertilized annually for 17 years with (i) a high level

The purpose of this study was to determine the concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium, iron, manganese, lead and zinc) in current-year, 1-year old and 2-year old needles of Pinus sylvestris L. Trees were from three heavily polluted (immediate vicinity of zinc smelter, iron smelter and power plant)

ChlB is one of three chloroplast genes shown so far to be required for light-independent chlorophyll synthesis. It occurs in some algae, lower plants, and gymnosperms, but not in angiosperms. We have demonstrated, for the first time in conifer chloroplasts, the presence of two internal C to U

Different environmental stresses to a plant may result in similar responses at the cellular and molecular level. This is due to the fact that the impacts of the stressors trigger similar strains and downstream signal transduction chains. A good example for an unspecific response is the reaction to
