Coastal wetlands of the southeastern United States are threatened by increases in flooding and salinity as a result of both natural processes and man-induced hydrologic alterations. Furthermore, global climate change scenarios suggest that, as a consequence of rising sea levels, much larger areas of coastal wetlands may be affected by flooding and salinity in the next 50 to 100 years. In this p...

The effects of salt-alkaline mixed stress on switchgrass were investigated by evaluating seed germination and the proline, malondialdehyde (MDA) and soluble sugar contents in three switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) cultivars in order to identify which can be successfully produced on marginal lands affected by salt-alkaline mixed stress. The experimental conditions consisted of four levels of sa...

plant tissue culture techniques were used to study the effect of nacl on tropane alkaloids accumulation and proline content of both datura metel and datura stramonium. callus cultures were established for both datura species. however, ms medium supplemented with 1mg/l of both ba and naa was the best for callus production in d. metel, while ms supplemented with 3 mg/l kin and 1 mg/l 2, 4-d was t...

The presence of salt in the soil profile negatively affects the growth and development of vegetation. As a result, the spectral reflectance of vegetation canopies varies for different salinity levels. This research was conducted to (1) investigate the capability of satellite-based hyperspectral vegetation indices (VIs) for estimating soil salinity in agricultural fields, (2) evaluate the perfor...

Azadirachta indica is an important multipurpose social-forestry species moderately tolerant to salinity stress. There is an increase in the demand for saline tolerant lines of neem. In the present study, a tissue culture method was optimized to obtain callus and regenerates from nodal explants and exposed them to different levels of saline concentration in MS were selected for the determination...

the composition of the essential oils of teucrium chamaedrys l. belongs to the family lamiaceae, it is growing wild in the margin of mountainous roads of arid and cold climate of north iran. in this research, essential oils of teucrium chamaedrys l., extracted and measured at the different location by different methods of distillationand then were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. investigation and com...

essential oil extracted from the leaves of myrtle, myrtus communis l. (myrtaceae)was tested in vitro for volatile toxicity against two stored-product insects (tribolium confusum and callosobruchus maculatus). the chemical composition of the plant oil was examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). the major oil components were α-pinene (10.4%), α- terpineol (10.1%), linalool (9.0%...

background & aim: sage (salvia officinalis l.) is a perennial medicinal herb which belongs to lamiales order and lamiaceae family. this plant has economical value for four years. nowadays the use of plant growth regulators (pgr) has an important role for increasing the secondary metabolites in plants. among pgrs jasmonic (ja) and salicylic acid (sa) have many applications in medicinal plant...

the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of flowers of calycanthus floridus l. var.oblongifolius (nutt.) d.e. boufford & s.a. spongberg, planted in sabzevar, khorasan province(iran), was analyzed by gc and gc/ms. eighteen compounds representing 90.1% of theflower oil of calycanthus floridus l. var. oblongifolius were identified, among them 1,8-cineol(33.1%), bornyl acetate (14.1%), α-pin...

Salicylic acid can mitigate the impacts of salinity and drought stresses in crops. To study the effect of salicylic acid under iso-osmotic drought and salt stresses on nutrients absorption and growth of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), an experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications in Yasouj University in 2016. Treatments included salinity and droug...
