although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...

the engineering properties of soils are generally affected by parameters such as mineral type, structure, and pore water salinity. the existing solutes of soil play a role in the electrochemical forces between particles and can change the index and mechanical properties of soil, including cohesion, compressibility, and compactibility. this study investigated the effect of sodium chloride, sodiu...

The observations of a long-term experiment on the use of saline water were used to compare the crop tolerance to salinity. Salinity affected significantly yield, evapotranspiration, pre-dawn leaf water potential and stomatal conductance. The higher the salinity, the lower the yield, evapotranspiration, pre-dawn leaf water potential and stomatal resistance. The crop classification, based on soil...

Nano particles may be more useful in comparison to bulk materials because they can pass the cell membrane of crops because of their general size. Nano-silicon or SiO2 is one of the major and frequently used engineered oxide nano particles in deferent fields. Quick germination of cultivated seeds and good seedling establishment are key factors to lentil production under salinity stress soil acro...

in order to evaluate the physiological and biochemical traits in response to salinity, six varieties of wheat were cultivated in a split plot based on randomized complete block design in the growth chamber in the department of agronomy, faculty of agriculture, university of maragheh. seedlings of wheat cultivars, in three to four leaves stage were treated with 200 mm nacl for 14 days. after the...

salinity and sodicity are the major factors of soil degradation in arid and semiarid areas. the main aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of liss_iii data for soil salinity and sodicity mapping in a selected part of the qazvin plain, an area of arid environment. during the study, spectral classes were carried out of the remotely sensed data and then with the help of field observatio...

Saline to freshwater invasions have become increasingly common in recent years. A key hypothesis is that rates of freshwater invasions have been amplified in recent years by increased food concentration, yet this hypothesis has remained unexplored. We examined whether elevated food concentration could enhance freshwater tolerance, and whether this effect evolves following saline to freshwater i...
