growth and survival of willow seedling (salix alba l.) under water deficit stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
willows due to the rapid growth rate, low nutrient requirements, resistance to many pollutants, and environmental stresses are ideal candidates for developing the landscapes and reducing the environmental degradation. the purpose of this study was to determine the response of salix alba seedling to water deficit conditions. this experiment was set up as complete randomized design with five irrigation periods (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days) in three replicates (each replicate containes five pots) for four months. results indicated a high survival rate for salix seedlings, whereas under extremely drought stress (10-day irrigation) it was always greater than 73%. height and collar diameter growth, above-ground and under-ground biomass, number of leaves and root volume decreased with increasing the irrigation period but no changes occurred in leaf area, specific leaf area, root length and root:shoot ratio. regarding to the economy of water resources, 6- and 8-day irrigation periods, due to high survival (100%) and favorable growth of seedlings, can be considered for raising salix alba seedlings in this region and/or in climatic regions similar to the research site.

Effects of Superabsorbents on Growth and Physiological Responses of Date Palm Seedling under Water Deficit Conditions
Irrigation is an inevitable part of agriculture which determines crop yield and thus food security. In modern era of agriculture, crop yield is determined on the basis of crop production per unit of water-use instead of crop production per land unit area. Deficit irrigation is introduced as a strategy for controlling water resources that leads to water resource preservation. Date palm requires...

Abstract Effects of water stress on root and leaf growth rates and their relationships with yield under normal and water stress conditions were examined at the Greenhouse and Research Field of Faculty of Agriculture, Kerman University, Iran, using seven maize cultivars including SC-404, SC-704, BC-666, TC-647, DC-370, Jeta and Kordona. During a period of 14 days, water stress at -0.4 MPa was ...
متن کاملPolymorphism and Divergence in Two Willow Species, Salix viminalis L. and Salix schwerinii E. Wolf
We investigated species divergence, present and past gene flow, levels of nucleotide polymorphism, and linkage disequilibrium in two willows from the plant genus Salix. Salix belongs together with Populus to the Salicaceae family; however, most population genetic studies of Salicaceae have been performed in Populus, the model genus in forest biology. Here we present a study on two closely relat...

Arsenic (As) is a toxic element for plants and one of the most common anthropogenic pollutants found at contaminated sites. Despite its severe effects on plant metabolism, several species can accumulate substantial amounts of arsenic and endure the associated stress. However, the genetic mechanisms involved in arsenic tolerance remains obscure in many model plant species used for land decontami...

Silicon is known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth. We evaluated growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. CV. Chamran) under Water-Deficit Stress Induced by Polyethylene Glycol as affected by Si application. In this article, the effects of Si (as potassium silicate) on some parameters related to growth, chlorophyll concentration relative water content (RWC), electrol...
متن کاملOptimizing nitrogen economy under drought: increased leaf nitrogen is an acclimation to water stress in willow (Salix spp.)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The major objective was to identify plant traits functionally important for optimization of shoot growth and nitrogen (N) economy under drought. Although increased leaf N content (area basis) has been observed in dry environments and theory predicts increased leaf N to be an acclimation to drought, experimental evidence for the prediction is rare. METHODS A pedigree of 200...
