Heat stress is a critical challenge to tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) in many areas of the globe and variations in genetic structure and functional traits is for the efficient breeding programs on developing heat tolerant cultivars. Tolerant-related morpho-physiological traits and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were employed to survey genetic diversity in greenhouse and growth ...

Plant metabolism and productivity is influenced adversely by salinity. Exogenous selenium (Se), applied as sodium selenate in biofortification programmes, has been found effective in alleviating the salt induced damage in plants. The study was conducted in order to determine the effects of exogenous Se supply (10 μM) on the resistance of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) plants to salt stress...

The delta subunit of the RNA polymerase, RpoE, maintains the transcriptional specificity in gram-positive bacteria. Lack of RpoE results in massive changes in the transcriptome of the human dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans. In this study, we analyzed traits of the ΔrpoE mutant which are important for biofilm formation and interaction with oral microorganisms and human cells and perfo...

the present study was laid out in order toevaluate the effect of salinity on some biochemical characterize of grapevine c.vyaghouti. the experiment was done at agricultural and natural resources research center, ilam, iran at 2014. the experiment was a completely block design (crd) with four replications. saline factor was nacl salinity in seven levels (zero, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mm). grap...

BACKGROUND: Silicon is a suitable solution to alleviate salinity stress and improve crop production. OBJECTIVES: Investigation physiological and biochemical traits of Single Cross 704 corn affected foliar application of silicon (from a Sodium silicate source) under salinity stress. METHODS: This research was carried out according sp...

the response of tomato genotype cal-ji  against five salinity levels (distilled water as control, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm) were studied at germination and early seedling stages. an experiment with conducted by using a completely randomized design (crd) with three replications. shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight, seed vigor, mean germination time, germination percentage and rate me...
