Continuous desertification of arable lands mandates use of low quality/ saline water for irrigation, especially in regions experiencing water shortage. Using low quality/ saline water for irrigation imposes more stress on plants that are already under stress in these regions. Thus, a logical solution will be to find a salt/ drought-tolerant plant species that will survive/sustain under such str...

salinity is one of the abiotic stresses and exploitation of heterosis could increase the crop yield and extend the stress tolerance, especially in salinity stress. in this research, a set of full diallel design involving 7×7 crosses from cultivars including flat, bam, ghods, roshan, arg, kavir and pishtaz were conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under both no...

abstract in order to investigate the freezing tolerance of field grown fennel (fueniculum vulgare mill) under controlled conditions, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with three replications in agricultural college, ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2004. treatments were two fennel ecotypes (khorasan and kerman), two planting dates (oct 8th and 29th ) an...

Due to worldwide increasing of salinity, the identification of genes conferring tolerance to plants is important. The aim of this study was to investigate salinity effects on the expression of three genes-related to proteins and aquaporin in grape (Vitis vinifera L.). Based on screening study on 18 grape genotypes, H6 and Gharashani that showed lower decrease in water potential, leaf area, leaf...

salinity is one of the important factors that reduce the growth and yield of crops in iran; however, determining appropriate methods for reducing its negative effects is important. in order to study the effects of nutritional condition of mother plant and bacterial biofertilizers seed priming on germination indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), in salinity condition, an experiment was conduc...

In arid irrigated regions, the proportion of crop production under deficit irrigation with poorer quality water is increasing as demand for fresh water soars and efforts to prevent saline water table development occur. Remote sensing technology to quantify salinity and water stress effects on forage yield can be an important tool to address yield loss potential when deficit irrigating with poor...

      Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica Oliv.) is a woody species that is naturally distributed in the desert areas of some parts of Asia and Africa. Because of its outstanding features, it is a model plant to study environmental stress tolerance. This research was conducted from 2014 to 2016 in order to study the relationship between performance indices and ion concentrations. The cuttings ...
