Gene expression in cells follows a prescribed pathway that conforms to the Central Dogma; where the genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into RNA and then expressed into proteins, which influences most plant traits. Plant salt tolerance research is directed towards identifying nucleotide variants that could contribute to tolerant phenotypes. This book comprehensively presents the current state of knowledge on plant salt tolerance through meticulous analysis of the processes ope...

Unsere Städte wurden Höllen.Sie kamen über Nacht. Ihr Hunger war unstillbar. Sie fielen wie Heuschreckenschwärme über die Lebenden her. Zerrissen sie, fraßen, machten aus ihnen etwas Entsetzliches. In den Straßen herrscht verwestes Fleisch. Zwischen zerschossenen Häusern und Bombenkratern gibt es kaum noch sichere Verstecke. In Deutschland ist der Tod zu einer seltenen Gnade geworden. Hohe Stahlbetonwände sichern die Grenzen. Jagdflieger und Kampfhubschrauber dröhne...
