Growth, photosynthesis, nodule nitrogen and carbon fixation in the chickpea cultivars under salt stress

Comparative study of nitrogen fixation and carbon metabolism in two chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars under salt stress

salinity is one of the major environmental constraints on agriculture in many regions of the world (Boyer, 1982; Two cultivars of Cicer arietinum with differential tolerSerrano and Gaxiola, 1994). Chick-pea (Cicer arietinum ance to salinity have been compared by analysing L.) nodules are indeterminate (Hirsch, 1992) and export growth, photosynthesis, nodulation, nitrogenase activfixed N as amid...

Effects of salt stress on growth, photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation in chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L.)

utes is more a consequence of damage produced by salt stress than of a protective strategy. Plants of chick-pea (Cicer arietinum L. cv. ILC1919) inoculated with Mesorhizobium ciceri strain ch–191

Bacterial exopolysaccharide and biofilm formation stimulate chickpea growth and soil aggregation under salt stress

To compensate for stress imposed by salinity, biofilm formation and exopolysaccharide production are significant strategies of salt tolerant bacteria to assist metabolism. We hypothesized that two previously isolated salt-tolerant strains Halomonas variabilis (HT1) and Planococcus rifietoensis (RT4) have an ability to improve plant growth, These strains can form biofilm and accumulate exopolysa...

The Relationship Between Photosynthesis and Nitrogen Fixation.

The effect of exogenous silicon on seed germination and seedling growth of wheat cultivars under salt stress conditions

ABSTRACT- Seed germination and early seedling growth are critical stages for plants establishment and production, particularly under salinity conditions. Exogenous application of silicon (Si) can enhance germination as well as seedling growth. In this experiment, the effect of priming with Si (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 mM sodium silicate) on seed germination and seedling growth under NaCl (0, 100 a...
