• Decreased reactive oxygen species concentration in the elongation zone contributes to the reduction in maize leaf growth under salinity 

      Rodriguez, Andrés Alberto; Córdoba, Alicia R.; Ortega, Leandro Ismael; Taleisnik, Edith (Society for Experimental Biology, 2004-06)
      Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the apoplast of cells in the growing zone of grass leaves are required for elongation growth. This work evaluates whether salinity‐induced reductions in leaf elongation are related to altered ...
    • Leaf expansion in grasses under salt stress 

      Taleisnik, Edith; Rodriguez, Andrés Alberto; Bustos, Dolores Angela; Erdei, László; Ortega, Leandro Ismael; Senn, Eugenia (Elsevier, 2009-07)
      Restriction of leaf growth is among the earliest visible effects of many stress conditions, including salinity. Because leaves determine radiation interception and are the main photosynthetic organs, salinity effects on ...
    • Physiological causes for decreased productivity under high salinity in Boma, a tetraploid Chloris gayana cultivar 

      De Luca, Marcos Javier; García Seffino, L.; Grunberg, Karina; Salgado, M.; Córdoba, Alicia R.; Luna, Celina Mercedes; Ortega, Leandro Ismael; Rodriguez, Andrés Alberto; Castagnaro, Ana P.; Taleisnik, Edith (CSIRO Publishing, 2001)
      Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) is widely cultivated in the semi-arid tropics and favoured for salt tolerance; nevertheless, productivity decreases significantly under saline conditions, especially in tetraploid ...
