Relative Comparison Salinity Stress Tolerance for “Manfaluty” and “Wonderful” Pomegranate Cultivar Transplants

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 and selection for salinity stress tolerance in Iranian promising alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) ecotypes

To improve salinity stress tolerance in Iranian promising alfalfa ecotypes, including Shorkat, Gharghologh, Gharaghozloo, Rehnani, Roodasht Isfahan and Gavkhooni, a recurrent selection scheme was carried out at roodasht and kabootarabad field stations, Isfahan, Iran, during 2012-2017 growing seasons. Six Iranian promising alfalfa ecotypes were planted in the autumn of 2012 and irrigated with sa...

The Induction of Tolerance to Salinity Stress of Commercial Sugarcane Cultivar CP72-1312 by in Tissue Culture Condition

BACKGROUND: In order to investigate the induction of salinity tolerance in CP72-1312 commercial cultivar in tissue culture condition, an experiment was carried out in the tissue culture laboratory of Karoun Agro-Industry Company in 2017 year. OBJECTIVES: At this study we evaluated tolerance of CP73-1312 sugarcane commercial cultivar to salt stress in tiss...
