[1] Salinity profiles collected by the International Argo Project (International Argo Project data are available at http://argo.jcommops.org) since 2000 provide us an unprecedented opportunity to study impacts of salinity data on the quality of ocean analysis, which has been hampered by a lack of salinity observations historically. The operational Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS) d...

Laboratory expenments were conducted to evaluate the effects of increased so11 salinity on gas exchange functlonlng and growth of the braclush-marsh grass Spartlna patens (Alt) Muhl under controlled soil redox potentials (Eh) which were malntalned at either aerobic (+489 mV) or hypoxlc (-40 mV) conditions Plants were subjected to salinities of 0 5, 15 and 25 ppt gradually over a 7 d penod and l...

Salinity tolerance of four grape genotypes [GharaUzum, Hosseini, AghUzum and Keshmeshi] was studied under various salinity levels (25, 50 and 100 mM NaCl). As a result, growth indices were significantly (P<0.05) reduced by salinity, whereas Cl- and Na+ contents in the plant parts were increased. Cl- accumulation exceeded than that of Na+ in all treatments. Among the genotypes studied, GharaUzum...

the influence of salinity on the different polyamine fractions (free, conjugated, and bound) was compared in a natrophilic halophyte (beta vulgaris l. cv. ic) and a salt sensitive glycophyte (nicotiana rustica l. cv. basmas). low-level salinity (25 mm nacl) and high salinity (150 and 50 mm nacl for sugar beet and tobacco, respectively) were supplied in hydroponics. under low salinity shoot dry ...

Taking into account the high potential of cyanobacteria to tolerate salinity stress, researches have evaluated the morphological and physiological behavior of these microorganisms in recent years. This study is conducted to investigate the impact of different concentrations of NaCl on the morphological and physiological traits of Nostoc sp. ISC 101. Biometrical and morphological observations ar...

background: some health-protecting secondary metabolites can be found at a higher concentration in the sprouts compared to other stages of plant growth. in addition, environmental stresses such as salt stress may be resulting in the increase or decrease of specific secondary metabolites in sprouts and plants. objective: evaluation the changes of trigonelline, nicotinic acid, and proline content...

Salt tolerance of higher plants is determined by a complex set of traits, the timing and rate of evolution of which are largely unknown. We compared the salt tolerance of cultivars of sugar beet and their ancestor, sea beet, in hydroponic studies and evaluated whether traditional domestication and more recent breeding have changed salt tolerance of the cultivars relative to their ancestor. Our ...
