Response of Shoot and Root Development of Seven Tomato Cultivars in Hydrophonic System under Water Stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Experiment with nutrient solution was conducted in the glasshouse of the University of Applied and life Science, Vienna, Austria to evaluate the effect of water stress on root and shoot development of seven tomato cultivars. The stress levels were 20, 25 and 30 minutes (withholding water) as low, medium and severe stress. The experiment revealed that the cultivars BR-4 and BR-5 showed comparatively tolerance to drought as their root length, root dry weight and root/shoot ratio were higher under water stress condition (30 minutes stress).

Assessment of Root Growth and Physiological Responses of Four Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars to Salinity Stress
Enlarged root systems that extend into the salt affected soil improve water and nutrient capture by plants and can increase plant productivity. In order to examine root system characteristics of four bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (Arg, Ofoq, Tajan and Morvarid) a greenhouse experiment was conducted with applying two salinity levels (0 and 150 mM NaCl) on plants grown in PV...
