In order to simulate the usage of brackish irrigation water in greenhouse tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill. cv. Daniela) culture in perlite, plants were supplied with nutrient solutions containing 0, 20, 40, and 60 mM NaCl. The three highest salinity treatments were applied at three different plant growth stages, during early vegetative growth [16 days after transplanting, (DAT)], beginning...

this research was carried out on corn in the orzuiyeh region of kerman province over two consecutive seasons (2005-6 to 2007-8). the experiment was done as a split plot with a completely randomized block design and four replications. four levels of consumed water (60%, 80%, 100% water requirement, water use based on regional custom) and three varieties (404sc, 700sc, 704sc) were the main factor...

Date palm cultivars differently tolerate salinity and drought stress. This study was carried out to study the response of date palm to severe salinity and drought based on leaf proteome analysis. Eighteen-month-old date palm plants were subjected to severe salt (48 g/L NaCl) and drought (82.5 g/L PEG or no irrigation) conditions for one month. Using a protein 2D electrophoresis method, 55 prote...

© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/tqem.20130 Groundwater is an essential source of drinking water in rural India. Contamination of groundwater (resulting from human activities or from inherent aquifer material composition) reduces the supply of safe drinking water, posing a threat to public health and a challenge to ...

Abiotic factors, such as saline stress, can happen in agricultural areas and harm the metabolism of plants. Studies that seek to evaluate acting P. peruviana L. under stress conditions are still incipient. Therefore, objective was tolerance salinity plants different levels irrigation water. The work developed experimental farm Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus Pombal, PB, from Janu...
