Cross-Stressful Adaptation to Drought and High Salinity Is Related to Variable Antioxidant Defense, Proline Metabolism, and <i>Dehydrin b</i> Expression in White Clover by Yao Ling, Duo Wang, Yan Peng, Dandan Peng, Zhou Li

“…A previous exposure to drought priming (DP) or salt priming (SP) could significantly improve future tolerance to both the same and different abiotic stresses, which is an effective mitigation strategy for plants to adapt to changing environmental conditions. If the type of stress priming is different from subsequent abiotic stress, this indicates that plants are trained to acquire cross tolerance. …”

Late blight resistant potato hybrid clones in the VIR collection of plant genetic resources by E. V. Rogozina, N. A. Chalaya, M. A. Kuznetsova, V. N. Demidova, A. N. Rogozin, T. I. Smetanina, M. P. Beketova, O. A. Fadina, E. Е. Khavkin

“…In the cluster analysis, 36 potato genotypes were divided into three groups, which differed significantly in their resistance to LB under various environmental conditions. High resistance to LB correlated with the presence of resistance genes that confer broad-spectrum resistance (R8 = Rpi-smira2 in 'Sarpo Mira' and Rpi-blb1, Rpi-blb2 and Rpi-vnt1 in interspecific hybrids).…”
