Back to the Wild: On a quest for donors toward salinity tolerant rice by Solis, Celymar A., Yong, Miing T., Vinarao, Ricky, Jena, Kshirod, Holford, Paul, Shabala, Lana, Zhou, Meixue, Shabala, Sergey, Chen, Zhong-Hua

“…We conclude that while amongst all wild relatives, O. rufipogon is arguably a best source of germplasm at the moment, genes and traits from the wild relatives, O. coarctata, O. latifolia, and O. alta, should be targeted in future genetic programs to develop salt tolerant cultivated rice.…”

Topography, soil carbon-nitrogen ratio and vegetation in boreal coniferous forests at the landscape level by Chaminade, Guillermo

“…Stoniness and C/N ratio were negatively correlated, as were pH and the C/N ratio. Some of the relations explained above were weak enough to require further studies in order to achieve definite conclusions, although most of them were considered strong enough to be representative of the mutual relations measured.…”
