Two different strategies for the distribution of macro- and trace elements can be observed in the terrestrial orchid Gymnadenia conopsea. Most trace elements are not translocated to the above-ground parts, whereas for macro-elements the trend was reversed, with the highest accumulation in the distal parts of the plants. Edaphic stress is one of the main factors affecting plant fitness, but it is still poorly understood, even in rare plants such as orchids.

Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the most serious health challenges facing vast sectors of Africa's population particularly resource-poor women and children. Main deficiencies include iron, zinc and vitamin A. Plant breeding has frequently been advocated as the most sustainable strategy of providing varieties of different food crop species with enhanced micronutrient density to combat the global hidden hunger problem which affects more than 2 billion people.

Phenotypic plasticity can contribute to crop adaptation to challenging environments. Plasticity indices are potentially useful to identify the genetic basis of crop phenotypic plasticity. Numerous methods exist to measure phenotypic plasticity.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex skin disease frequently linked with other atopic symptoms such allergic rhinitis and asthma. The disease's history consists of persistent relapses with extreme pruritus, which lowers quality of life. AD has become a global health concern as its incidence has increased over the last few decades.

UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are the largest glycosyltransferase family developed during the evolution of the plant kingdom. However, their physiological significance in abiotic stress adaptation in land plants is largely unknown. In this study, we identified a UGT gene from Arabidopsis thaliana, UGT86A1, that was significantly induced by salt and drought stresses.
