In plant ecophysiology research there is interest in studying the biology of the rhizosphere because of its importance in plant nutrient-interactions. The rhizosphere is the zone of soil surrounding a plant's root system where microbes (such as fungi) are influenced by the root and the roots by the microbes. We are investigating a methodology for i...

... exuded by or present in the root and consumed by specialized guilds of fungi and bacteria that inhabit or surround the roots. Root inhabiting fungi include mycorrhizal and endophytic species. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and many root fungal endophytes grow intercellularly, while ectomycorrhizal fungi do not penetrate root cortical cells (see Fig. 1). These different modes of fungal-root structure are the product of independent origins of plant-fungal symbioses that began with the co-colonization of land by plants and fungi, and are integral to terrestrial carbon ...

Recent studies have highlighted the potential of linking fire behaviour to plant ecophysiology as an improved route to characterising severity, but research to date has been limited to laboratory-scale investigations. Fine-scale fire behaviour during prescribed fires has been identified as a strong predictor of post-fire tree recovery and growth, b...

As broad-scale distributions of plants are shaped by climatic conditions, changes of climate necessarily result in shifts of distributional limits. These shifts are closely coupled with changes in plant ecophysiology, growth and productivity. Among environments subjected to the highest increase in temperature in the last decade and the greatest exp...

The plant hormone ethylene is one of the central regulators of plant development and stress resistance. Optimal ethylene signaling is essential for plant fitness and is under strong selection pressure. Plants upregulate ethylene production in response to stress, and this hormone triggers defense mechanisms. Due to the pleiotropic effects of ethylen...

The Argentine Society of Plant Physiology (SAFV) was founded in December 1958 and it will soon be 60 years old. It was started as the discipline was just emerging in the country, and today Plant Physiology research is carried out by productive and enthusiastic groups all over Argentina. The history of the SAFV had not been documented before. Edith...
