this study was carried out within 7 months in dikjeh area, golestan province, iran. during that time the relationship between water salinity and ec with hematocrite, blood serum ionic parameters, growth, survival and stress indices in common carp (cyprinus carpio) were investigated. hematocrite as stress index was measured by hemocitometry standard method using microhematocrite reader. fish bio...

A pot experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different salinity levels on growth and ion contents of black seeds (Nigella sativa L.) at Shakarganj Botanic Garden, Jhang, Pakistan. There were three levels of NaCl salinity as 0 (control), 3 dS/m and 6 dS/m. All growth attributes such as fresh and dry shoot weights, shoot length decreased with increase in salinity levels, but in contrast...

In order to study the effects of different salinity levels on turnip (Brassica rapa L.), an investigation was conducted at Yasouj University, Iran, in 2010. The effects of four salinity levels including 1.92, 9.87, 19.6 and 21.94 ds m-1 (20:1 ratio of NaCl: CaCl2 in Hoagland solution) on germination, vegetative and maturity stages of turnip (Baherghan landrace) were investigated. The results re...

soil salinity poses considerable and increasing problems for agriculture, and is receiving much attention from plant breeders. the identification of genes whose expression enables plants to adapt to and/or tolerate salt stress is essential for breeding programs, but little is known about the genetic mechanisms of traits in saline conditions. the data obtained from 75 families produced by crossi...

To accurately predict the impact of environmental change, it is necessary to assay effects of key interacting stressors on vulnerable organisms, and the potential resiliency of their populations. Yet, for the most part, these critical data are missing. We examined the effects of two common abiotic stressors predicted to interact with climate change, salinity and temperature, on the embryonic su...

INTRODUCTION Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting crop production via adverse effects of osmotic stress, specific ion toxicity, and stress-related nutritional disorders. Detrimental effects of salinity are also often exacerbated by low oxygen availability when plants are grown under waterlogged conditions. Developing salinity-tolerant varieties is critical to overcome these p...

In a scenario of climate change and intensive land-use change, the issue salt marsh degradation caused by global warming soil salinization is becoming more serious. A chamber experiment was conducted to examine responses tuber sprouting seedling growth Schoenoplectus nipponicus variations in temperature regimes (20/10, 25/15, 30/20 35/25°C; 12-h light/dark photoperiod) different concentrations ...

The objective of the study was to investigate effects salinity stresses (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mM NaCl) on germination early seedling growth six cotton varieties (Lydia, Carisma, Flash, BA151, BA525 ST468) under optimum (25°C) low temperature (18°C) conditions. Germination percentage, mean time, index, stress tolerance length, vigor fresh dry weight were investigated. Results showed that le...

Objective: Germination is one of the most important stages of plants growth that affected by environmental stresses, especially drought and salinity. Methods: In order to study of Artichoke germination under different levels of salinity and drought, two separate experiments were performed. The four levels of salinity by NaCl (0, 50, 100, 150 mM) with three replications and five levels of drough...
