• 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 ...
    • Elongation growth in leaf blades of Chloris gayana under saline conditions 

      Ortega, Leandro Ismael; Taleisnik, Edith (Elsevier, 2003)
      In Chloris gayana, salinity-associated yield decreases are due mainly to leaf area reductions. To understand the physiological basis for such reduction, the effects of salinity were studied on the spatial and temporal ...
    • 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 ...
