salinity stress is a major limitation in wheat production. the lack of economically viable methods for screening salinity tolerance in field is an obstacle to breeders. in this study a population of 254 recombinant inbred lines (rils), derived from a cross between roshan × sabalan was assessed in glasshouse during the seedling phase in order to identify quantitative trait loci (qtls) for salini...

Secondary succession is impacted by both biotic and abiotic forces, but their relative importance varies due to environmental drivers. Across estuarine salinity gradients, physical stress increases with salinity, and biotic stresses are greater at lower salinities. In southern New England tidal marshes spanning a landscape-scale salinity gradient, we experimentally examined the effects of physi...

In this study, yeast HOG1 homologue from the root endophyte Piriformospora indica (PiHOG1) was isolated and functionally characterized. Functional expression of PiHOG1 in S. cerevisiae ∆hog1 mutant restored osmotolerance under high osmotic stress. Knockdown (KD) transformants of PiHOG1 generated by RNA interference in P. indica showed that genes for the HOG pathway, osmoresponse and salinity to...

to investigate the effect of salinity stress on membrane stability index, membrane lipid peroxidation, catalase activity and protein content of fenugreek (trigonellafoenum) an experiment with five levels of short-term salinity stress (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm) was carried out at the laboratory of agriculture faculty of shahid bahonar university of kerman, iran. the treatments were arranged ba...

stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a medicinal, perennial and herbaceous plant from asteraceae family with sweet glycosides in its leaves. salinity stress is one of the important limiters in agricultural productions. salinity influences the growth and development of plant by effect on more activities in physiological and morphological characteristics. to study the effect of salinity on morphological ...

to investigate effects of temperature and salinity different levels on germination parameters of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla), an experiment carried out in complete randomized design as factorial with three replication in department of agronomy, college of agriculture on the university of guilan, in 2014. treatments were including temperature levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 oc)...

the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

Guava (Psidium guajava L.), is adapted to an extensive range of soils, however, its development is strongly affected by salinity. Environmental stresses are of the major and influential factors in the amount of secondary metabolites, especially phenolic compounds present in plants. The purpose of this investigation was to study the leaf antioxidant and flavonoid contents (catechin, quercetin an...
