“…Over a span of 20 years, the alteration in morphology and ultrastructure, physiological distinction, variations of cellular components as well as enzyme polymorphisms have been extensively investigated in the two ecotypes of Phragmites (Chen and Zhang, 1991; Wang et al, 1995; Zheng et al, 2000; Cheng et al, 2001; Zhu et al, 2001; Chen et al, 2003, 2007; Gong et al, 2003; Zhao et al, 2004; Cui et al, 2005). Compared with SR, DR growing on natural dunes produces short and small shoots, narrow leaves with huge vascular bundles, and a highly lignified and suberized cell wall (Wang et al, 1995; Cui et al, 2009); its efficiency of photosynthesis is dramatically decreased (Zhu and Zhang, 2000), but its antioxidant system is very active (Zhu et al, 2001; Chen et al, 2003; Cui et al, 2009). Recent efforts have been directed at the analysis of differential protein expression between SR and DR.…”
