Abstract:Water lilies (Nymphaea L.) are ancient angiosperms that can be cultivated in both fresh and brackish water. Water lily plants have adapted morphologically and physiologically to the aqueous environment. Nonetheless, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms that enable water lily to acclimate to saline conditions, restricting its production and distribution. To illustrate the role of roots in water lily salinity tolerance, we investigated the adaptive regulation of the water lily root system under high s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
