Ecophysiological and biochemical responses of saltbush subjected to salinity

Evaluating the physiological and hormonal responses of caper plant (Capparis spinosa) subjected to drought and salinity

In order to investigate the effect of drought and salinity stress on caper plant (Capparis spinosa), a factorial experiment including two factors consisting of drought and salinity levels based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five blocks were carried out at College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. After pretreatment, seeds were germinated in petri dishes and then...

Biochemical and Growth Responses of Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori to Different Sources and Levels of Salinity

 Background: As Moringa peregrina is a valuable medicinal plant in traditional medicine, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity.  Objective: To determine some biochemical and growth responses of Moringa peregrina to salinity at the seedling stage. Methods: This experiment was conducted in Institute of Medicinal Plants-ACECR, on base of factorial experiment as ...

Effect of Rootstocks on Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Vitis vinifera ‘Shahroudi’ to Salinity and Bicarbonate Stress Conditions

The synchronization of salt stress and dominance of calcareous soils in warm and dry climate regions has led to alkaline salinity stress in vineyards. In this study, the effects of salinity and bicarbonate stresses (alone or in combination) on photosynthetic reactions and nutrient variations of Vitis vinifera ‘Shahroudi’ as a susceptible grape cultivar were evaluated. Using stenting method, sci...

Physio-biochemical and Enzymatic Responses of Sunflower to Drought Stress

Drought stress is a serious adverse factor that limits sunflower growth and productivity. The stress induces a range of physiological and biochemical responses in sunflower. So, evaluation of defense systems is important for producing resistant cultivars. In this study, physio-biochemical changes and antioxidant enzymes activitiesof six sunflower lines were evaluated under normal and irrigation...
