Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are tubular carbon structures that are able to enter cells through holes in the plasma membrane and produce changes in gene expression. In this work, we compared the functionality of carbon nanotubes with the electroporation that perforates membranes, in Brassica oleracea var. Italica (broccoli) root protoplasts.

- Soil salinity significantly impacts plant growth, prompting this study to explore how different plant species respond physiologically to varying saline conditions (0, 100, 200, and 300 mM NaCl).
- The research involved analyzing physiological traits like leaf succulence, nutrient levels, and water relations across four plant species (Atriplex halimus, Salicornia fruticosa, Cakile maritima, and Brassica rapa) using Discriminant Canonical Analysis.
- Findings revealed that plant responses were influenced by leaf succulence rather than water relations, illustrating that ion accumulation patterns and protein ratios could effectively categorize plant responses to salt stress.
As a result of the extreme conditions that usually occur in Mediterranean climates, the objective of this work is to study the combined and/or separate effects of saline and alkaline stresses in Portulaca oleracea. The study was carried out to determine the nutritional food potential in relation to plant physiological parameters. The results show that alkaline media in which CaCO was present did not affect growth but exposure to 100 mM NaCl decreased it greatly.
