INITIAL DEVELOPMENT AND TOLERANCE OF PEPPER SPECIES TO SALINITY STRESS

Salinity Stress and Salt Tolerance

Salinity is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops, with adverse effects on germination, plant vigour and crop yield (R Munns & Tester, 2008). Salinization affects many irrigated areas mainly due to the use of brackish water. Worldwide, more than 45 million hectares of irrigated land have been damaged by salt, and 1.5 million hectares are taken out of pr...

Biotechnology of water and salinity stress tolerance.

Drought and salinity are among the environmental factors that constrain agricultural productivity most dramatically. Classical breeding programs aiming to improve stress tolerance have been hampered by the multigenic nature of the trait and the seemingly scarce natural genetic variability in crop plants. Novel genetic determinants governing the function of stomata and improving the performance ...

2 Salinity Stress and Salt Tolerance

Evaluation of Tolerance Rate of Some Genotypes of Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) To Salinity Stress

     Evaluation of the physiological and biochemical traits can help to identify strategies for selection of resistant cultivars and increased crop yield production under diverse environmental conditions such as SALT stress conditions. To this end, an experiment was conducted in a greenhouse based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The experimental factors were six...

Evaluation of salinity tolerance of different clover species at germination and seedling stages

In order to study the effects of salinity stress on growth indices of three clover species including, Trifolium resupinatum, T. alexandrinum, and T. incarnatum, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on a completely randomized design arrangement with three replications. Factors included seven levels of salinity stress (0, 41, 82, 123, 164, 205, and 246 mM) and three clover species. Diff...
