this study was carried out in the general commission for scientific agricultural research (gcsar) at der ez zour agricultural research center, during 2009- 2010 growing seasons. the role of na+, k+, na+/k+, carbohydrates accumulation of leaves, and sugar content of roots on the osmotic adjustment was studied in 10 sugar beet genotypes (five were monogerms and five were multigerms), under salini...

Among abiotic stresses, salinity has been increasing over the time for many reasons like using chemical fertilizers, global warming and rising sea levels. Under salinity stress, the loss of water availability, toxicity of Na+ and ion imbalance directly reduces carbon fixation and biomass production in plants. K+ is a major agent that can counteract Na+ stresses, thus the potential of plants to ...

this study was carried out to determine the appropriate size of caspian trout ( salmo caspius kessler, 1877) juveniles for releasing into the rivers that enter south of the caspian sea for stock enhancement, or possibility of cage culture in the caspian sea. a total of 1611 specimens in 4 weight groups of 5, 10, 15 and 20g were exposed to 3 salinity trials which include caspian sea water (11- 1...

salt stress is one of the most chalanging abiotic stresses affecting natural productivity and causing significant croplosses worldwide. a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of two alfalfa cultivars (bamiand hamedani) to 6 levels of salinity (0 as control, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mm nacl) at the college of agriculture,shiraz university, shiraz, iran in 2008. plant dry weig...

this research was carried on in order to investigate the response of wheat cultivars to salinity tension as factorial experiment and in complete randomized block design in four replications in islamic azad university shoushtar branch. in this experiment the response of nine wheat cultivars including chamran, karchia66, mahoti, roshan, alvand, kavir, ghods, atrak and tjan at vegetative growth st...

A liquid membrane containing diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2) shows specificity for K ion in transport while diethylene glycol dibutyl ether (1) was selective for Na over K . As an extractant, ligand 2 exhibited pronounced extraction selectivity for K over Na in comparison with ligand 1
