Lonicera japonica Thunb as the traditional Chinese herb is widely planted in southwestern China to harness rocky desertification due to its adaptability to the rock-desertificated environment. However, how the drought stress limits the Lonicera japonica Thunb’s physiological and photosynthetic characteristics is not clear. Therefore, a series of pot-cultivation experiments were dealt/performed ...

Expression analysis of crop plants has improved our knowledge about the veiled underlying mechanisms for salt tolerance. In order to observe the time course effects of salinity stress on gene expression for enzymes regulating proline metabolism, we comparatively analyzed the expression of specific genes for proline metabolism in root and shoot tissues of salt-tolerant (cv. Dunkled) and salt-sen...

The phenolic and proline content were determined in honey samples of different floral origins (rapeseed, sunflower, buckwheat and Codonopsis) from five different regions of China. The phenolic and proline profile of these samples were used to construct a statistical model to distinguish honeys from different floral origins. Significant differences were identified among the studied honey samples...

Laser is one of the sources that induce a biological effect in higher plants. The positive effect of laser on some crops has been proved. This research was carried out to study the effect of laser radiation on the accumulation of proline in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Kavir) under different NaCl treatment levels. Semi-coherent red beam, infrared beam and one-second harmonics of Neodymiu...

water deficit stress permanent or temporary limits the growth and distribution of natural vegetation and performance of plants more than other environmental factors. in order to investigate the effect of drought stress and mycorrhizal-arbuscular fungi inoculation on the growth and yield of savory (satureja hortensis l.) a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design were conducted...

theeffect of salt stress on the pysiological and biochemical responses of the seedlings of eight eucalyptus species viz. e. kingsmillii, e. tetragona, e. salubris, e. occidentali, e. microtheca, e. camaldulensis, e. globules and e. sargentii was analyzed. four month-old seedlings grown in greenhouse were watered by five levels of salt solution (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm of nacl) in five replic...

abstract the purpose of this research was to transform two economically important cultivars of strawberry with p5cs gene, which encodes δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (p5cs), the key enzyme in proline biosynthesis. shoots were obtained on ms basal medium supplemented with 2% glucose and 4 mg/l tdz for camarosa and kurdistan cultivars. for genetic transformation, a binary vector pbi121 co...

drought stress is one of the most important problems of agriculture and an important factor of plant product reduction. application of absorbent materials can help usage of sporadic rain fall and cause more maintenance of water storage. in order to study the effect of super absorbent polymer, potassium sulfate and manure under drought condition and favorable irrigation on some traits of foxtail...

Drought can impact local vegetation dynamics in a long term. In order to predict the possible successional pathway of local community under drought, the responses of some drought resistance indices of six successional seral species in the semi-arid Loss Hilly Region of China were illustrated and compared on three levels of soil water deficits along three growing months (7, 8 and 9). The results...
