This study investigated the impact of salinity build-up on the performance of membrane bioreactor (MBR), specifically in terms of the removal and fate of trace organic chemicals (TrOCs), nutrient removal, and biomass characteristics. Stepwise increase of the influent salinity, simulating salinity build-up in high retention MBRs, adversely affected the metabolic activity in the bioreactor, there...

Salinity stress as a major agricultural limiting factor may influence the chemical composition and bioactivity of Rosmarinus officinallis L. essential oils and leaf extracts. The application of salicylic acid (SA) hormone may alleviate salinity stress by modifying the chemical composition, gene expression and bioactivity of plant secondary metabolites. In this study, SA was applied to enhance s...

Salinity tolerance in plant species varies widely due to adaptation and acclimation processes at the cellular and whole-plant scales. In mangroves, extreme substrate salinity induces hydraulic failure and ion excess toxicity and reduces growth and survival, thus suggesting a potentially critical role for physiological acclimation to salinity. We tested the hypothesis that osmotic adjustment, a ...

Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the damaging effects of salinity on Sesbania sesban plants in the presence and absence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The selected morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters of S. sesban were measured. Salinity reduced growth and chlorophyll content drastically while as AMF inoculated plants improved growth. A decrease in the numbe...

The aim of this experiment was to determine the response of dill (Anethum graveolens L.) towater deficiency and salinity. In spring, dill biomass decreased with increasing water deficiencydue to a reduction in the number and mean weight of leaves per plant. The concentrations ofchlorophyll, carotenoids, vitamin C and total phenolics within the leaves were unaffected bywater stress, but the Cl, ...

objective: germination is one of the most important stages of plants growth that affected by environmental stresses, especially drought and salinity. methods: in order to study of artichoke germination under different levels of salinity and drought, two separate experiments were performed. the four levels of salinity by nacl (0, 50, 100, 150 mm) with three replications and five levels of drough...

background: as moringa peregrina is a valuable medicinal plant in traditional medicine, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity.  objective: to determine some biochemical and growth responses of moringa peregrina to salinity at the seedling stage. methods: this experiment was conducted in institute of medicinal plants-acecr, on base of factorial experiment as completely...

to evaluate the effect of salinity on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of spring rapeseed cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the greenhouse conditions at yasoujuniversityas a factorial with three replications. four salinity levels (1.92 (as control), 9.87, 19.6 and 21.94 dsm-1 (nacl and cacl2 with ratio 20 to 1 in hoagland solution)) as a first factor and eight cultivars...
