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...

zagros (drought tolerant) and pishtaz (drought susceptible) cultivars were classified on the basis of shoot dry weight and were used as plant material in this study. total chlorophyll, carotenoids, antocyanins, proline, soluble sugar contents, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities and protein patterns were determined. seedlings of wheat genotypes were grown in nutrient solution cult...

Partition coefficients of phenol, salicylic acid, and several environmentally important chloro- and nitrophenols in a supercritical CO2-water system were measured using direct cocurrent extraction of aqueous solutions of the individual solutes with CO2. Partitioning data on the nitrophenols and salicylic acid were obtained for the first time. To bypass the troublesome and error-prone analysis o...

Carbon is partitioned between export from the leaf and retention within the leaf, and this process is essential for all aspects of plant growth and development. In most plants, sucrose is loaded into the phloem of carbon-exporting leaves (sources), transported through the veins, and unloaded into carbon-importing tissues (sinks). We have taken a genetic approach to identify genes regulating car...

We investigated in laboratory column experiments, the aqueous-phase transport of four n-alcohols (n-hexanol-nnonanol), three chlorinated aromatic compounds (chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, and o-chlorophenol), and two alkylbenzenes (ethylbenzene and p-xylene) in a waterunsaturated porous medium (sand). The influence of gasphase partitioning and interfacial adsorption on solute retardation dur...

In many environmental transport problems, organic solutes partition between immiscible phases that consist of liquid mixtures. To estimate the corresponding partition coefficients, we evaluated the efficacy of combining linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs) developed for pure 1:1 systems via application of linear solvent strength theory. In this way, existing LSERs could be extended to ...
