Genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic approaches towards understanding the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in Frankia strains isolated from Casuarina trees

Abstract Background Soil salinization is a worldwide problem that is intensifying because of the effects of climate change.An effective method for the reclamation of salt-affected soils involves initiating plant succession using fast growing, nitrogen fixing actinorhizal trees such as the Casuarina.The salt tolerance of Casuarina is enhanced by the

Growth rates of adult sea turtles

Indeterminate growth, i.e.growth that persists throughout life, is common in long-lived reptiles.Because fecundity and body size tend to be correlated in such species, individuals face a life-history trade-off at sexual maturity.Saturation tagging and intensive monitoring at nesting grounds can potentially provide opportunities to accumulate data o
