experience a smaller root system. When a mangrove swamp is in a low tide‚ the trees roots will submerge out of the land curving down into the mud just like a human knee. Tidal ranges don’t only affect mangroves‚ but it affects the respiration‚ transpiration‚ physiology and physical structure of plants (User). Those roots can take oxygen from thin air in order to breath. Often mangroves develop under a tidal mode located in salt and blackish body of water like in Sine Saloum. Mangroves try and protect

field trial to examine the effectiveness of artificial stress-tolerant gene in crop plants. Interestingly‚ the results showed that transgenic canola has increased sensitivity to ABA and in the same time‚ reduced stomatal conductance and water transpiration under drought stress conditions (Wang et al.‚ 2005). Transgenic plants are able to provide higher yields compared to the conventional species under water stress and still able to perform on par with non-transgenic plants in conditions of sufficient
