to determine the potential habitat of two rangeland species of salsola rigidaand agropyron trichophorum in qasr-e-shirin, iran, geographic information systems(gis) and remote sensing (rs) techniques were used. at first, several maps (vegetationcover and land uses maps and thematic maps of various organizations) were collected orprepared. for digitizing geology, vegetation and conventional state...

considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, agropyron desertorum (fisch. ex link) schult. in ...

lead (pb) is one of the most hazardous heavy metal that caused serious problems for ecosystem at recent years. in this study, the effect of pb on seed germination, incipient growth and antioxidant enzymes of six common used turfgrasses was investigated. the results showed that after implementation of different concentrations (0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 µm) of pb, agropyron elongatum exhibited the h...

A wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend Thell) disomic addition line (2n = 6x = 44), SH1-152-2, with a pair of Elytrigia pontica (Podp.) Holub 2n = 10x = 70 [syn. Agropyron elongatum (Host) P.B.] chromosomes controlling blue aleurone color was crossed with a short-statured spring wheat ;Sonora 64' (T. aestivum). Isoline pairs of blue-disomic addition lines and nonblue euploid lines were produced by...
