Main conclusion Salinity induced metabolite responses resulted in differential accumulation of flavonoids and antioxidant metabolites in shoots and roots suggesting improved antioxidant capacity in providing salt-adaptive phenotype of tef seedling. Abstract Tef [( Eragrostis tef ) (Zucc.) Trotter] is an important ‘cash crop’ of Ethiopia grown mainly for human food, and development of elite tef cultivars with better performance...

Summary Membrane inlet mass spectrometry was used to monitor dissolved gas concentrations (CO 2 , CH 4 and O 2 ) in a mesotrophic peat core from Kopparås, Sweden. 1 A comparison of depth profiles (down to 22 cm) with an ombrotrophic peat core (Ellergower, SW Scotland) investigated previously, revealed major differences in gas concentrations. Thus methane reached concentrations more than twice as high (800 μM) at depths greater...
