Chromosome-scale genome sequence of Suaeda glauca sheds light on salt stress tolerance in halophytes

A research paper titled "Chromosome-scale genome sequence of Suaeda glauca sheds light on salt stress tolerance in halophytes," by Professor Qin Yuan's team from the Center for Genomics, Haixia Institute of Science and Technology (Future Technology College) at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, has been published in "Horticulture Research".

Sea Club-Rush, Bolboschoenus maritimus, in the Sedge family, #Cyperaceae, in flower, Rochester, UK. The stem is triangular. There are bits of accessible saltmarsh by the esplanade. Sea Beet and Sea Arrowgrass, Sea Purslane, other #halophytes. Interesting to compare this old #saltmarsh with the restored/created saltmarsh inlets in the colossal development site known as Rochester Riverside -- which are 'to be looked at' not 'to get your feet wet looking for plants'. #botany #WildFlowerHour
