A pot culture experiment was conducted to estimate the behavior of maize under saline soil conditions in the wire house of Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. There were three treatments with different levels of salinity and equal amount of Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3) in all pots including control was applied to three genotypes of Hybrid Maize i.e. ...

Salinity stress is known to modify the plasma membrane lipid and protein composition of plant cells. In this work, we determined the effects of salt stress on the lipid composition of broccoli root plasma membrane vesicles and investigated how these changes could affect water transport via aquaporins. Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica plants treated with different levels of NaCl (0, 40 or 80mM)...

[1] Long-term timeseries of upper ocean salinity and nutrients collected in the Alaskan Gyre along Line P exhibit significant decadal variations that are shown to be in phase with variations recorded in the Southern California Current System by the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigation (CalCOFI). We present evidence that these variations are linked to the North Pacific Gyre Osc...

We have determined an empirical equation for the index of refraction of water as a function of temperature, salinity, and wavelength at atmospheric pressure. The experimental data selected by Austin and Halikas ["The index of refraction of seawater," SIO Ref. 76-1 (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, Calif., 1976)] were fitted to power series in the variables. A ten-parameter empiric...

TurhAn, A. and V. Seniz, 2012. Salt tolerance during vegetative growth in cross of tomato and effect of cytoplasm in response to salt tolerance. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 18: 207-218 The aim of the present study was the determination of salt tolerance differences among tomato crosses by using morphological, physiological parameters and the identification cytoplasm related to salt tolerance mechanis...

introduction: limited water resources and its salinity uptrend has caused reducing water and soil quality and consequently reducing the crop production. thus, use of saline water is the management strategies to decrease drought and water crisis. furthermore, simulation models are valuable tools for improving on-farm water management and study about the effects of water quality and quantity on c...
