Objective: Salt stress is a world-wide problem and soil salinity is common in arid and semi-arid regions. This study was undertaken to investigate salt tolerance in Salsola orientalis in laboratory and natural conditions and recognize the mechanisms that allow it to tolerate these conditions. Methods: This study had two parts of greenhouse and natural habitats. The treatment s...

drought tolerance of three own-rooted grape cultivars (rashe, ghezil uzum and red sultanina) was evaluated at four different levels of soil moisture contents (40, 60, 80 and 100% field capacity through a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for a duration of 3 months. results revealed that, grape cultivars, levels of soil moisture and the inte...

Heavy metals in soil, water and air is a great concern. Toxic heavy metals ultimately affect plant, Animals, and through food chain directly influence human life. In present study, the effect of heavy metals (Cu, Zn), Nfertilizers and EDTA on growth and biomass of cannibus sativa plant was evaluated. The Cu and Zn phytoextraction potential of Cannabis sativa plant under various treatments of N-...

Heavy metal pollution is a worldwide problem with serious environmental consequences. The objective of the present experiment was to investigate whether arginine as nitric oxide precursor and or polyamines substrate can decrease the destructive effects of oxidative stress induced by nickel contamination in Hyoscyamus niger plant. In this study the effects of arginine pretreatment on alkaloid co...

nickel and cadmium are heavy metals with some hazards for plant metabolism. the impacts of nickel chloride (0, 400 and 800 μm) in the presence of vitamin b complex (0, 30 and 60 ml from pharmacy commercial stock) and the impacts of cadmium chloride (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 μl from 100 µm stock) in pot and cadmium nitrate (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 μl from 100 µm stock) in ...

A field study was conducted to compare the formationand bacterial communities of rhizosheaths of wheat grown under wheat-cotton and wheat-rice rotation and to study the effects of bacterial inoculation on plant growth. Inoculation of Azospirillum sp. WS-1 and Bacillus sp. T-34 to wheat plants increased root length, root and shoot dry weight and dry weight of rhizosheathsoil when compared to non...
