Aim
Determination of factors affecting the resistance of halophytes and glycophytes performing C3, C4, or CAM metabolism under abiotic (e.g. salinity, drought) and biotic stresses. The role of the antioxidative system, ROS level, signal transduction, variability of C, N, S metabolism involved in bioactive compounds (secondary metabolites) biosynthesis, in controlling: plants, organs and cells responses at physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels.
