Salinity Tolerance, Ion Accumulation Potential and Osmotic Adjustment In Vitro and In Planta of Different Accessions from a Dry Coastal Meadow.

The aim of the present study was to compare tolerance to salinity and ion accumulation potential of subsp. . Three accessions (AM1 and AM2, both from Latvia, and AM3 from Sweden) from relatively dry sandy soil habitats in the Baltic Sea region were selected and compared using both in vitro cultivated shoot explants and long-term soil-cultivated plants at flowering stage.

Comparison of In Vitro and In Planta Heavy Metal Tolerance and Accumulation Potential of Different Accessions from a Dry Coastal Meadow.

The aim of the present study was to compare the tolerance to several heavy metals and their accumulation potential of subsp. accessions from relatively dry sandy soil habitats in the Baltic Sea region using both in vitro cultivated shoot explants and long-term soil-cultivated plants at the flowering stage as model systems. The hypothesis that was tested was that all accessions will show a relatively high heavy metal tolerance and a reasonable metal accumulation potential, but possibly to varying degrees.

Abiotic Stress Tolerance of Coastal Accessions of a Promising Forage Species, .

Crop wild relatives are valuable as a genetic resource to develop new crop cultivars, better adapted to increasing environmental heterogeneity and being able to give high quality yields in a changing climate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the tolerance of different accessions of a crop wild relative, L., from coastal habitats of the Baltic Sea to three abiotic factors (increased soil moisture, trampling, cutting) in controlled conditions.

Advanced head and neck cancer: long-term results of chemo-radiotherapy, complications and induction of second malignancies.

Background: Chemo-radiotherapy is superior to radiotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced, inoperable head and neck cancer. The long-term treatment results, the induction of second malignant tumors, and other long-term toxicities are not well defined.

Patients And Methods: 100 consecutive patients with advanced head and neck cancer who were treated at our center were studied.
