this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt stress on some agro-physiological traits in ten varieties of bread (triticum aestivum l.) and durum (triticum turgidum l.) wheats in seedling stage. a greenhouse experiment was carried out as a split plot experiment based on a completely randomized design with four replications in hydroponic condition. different agronomic and physiol...

soil salinity affects ions concentrationss of plant tissues and this may alter the merits quality of medicinal plants. experiments were conducted during 2003 at the the isfahan university of technology campus, isfahan, iran, to assess the effects of five soil salinity levels (3.2, 3.6, 4.5, 5.4 and 7.5 ds m-1) on na, k, and ca contents of borage and echium. each plant species was studied in a s...

AbstractThis study was undertaken to better understand the probable mechanisms of salt stress tolerance induced by seed priming of salicylic acid (SA) in barley. The barley seeds were pre-soaked by SA or water and then sown under different saline watering regimes including 0.62 (tapwater), 5, 10 and 15 dS m-1 in petri dishes and trend of water absorbing, seedling growth, germination rate and pe...

a solution culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the salinity tolerance of 15 tomato genotypes in hoagland’s nutrient solution with three levels of nacl (0, 75, and 150 mm). the experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with three replicates. after 30 days of imposition of salt stress, gas exchange parameters including transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, co2 assimila...

thermal behavior of various solid feldspars are different, namely those of bivalent cations show no change in the distribution of al and si atoms, whereas feldspars of univalent cations become more disordered with raising temperature. in the latter case al atoms migrate from the sites they occupe at low temperatures and interchange positions with the si atoms. at high temperatures (but still be...

dry land salinity is one of the major problems affecting agricultural products. the main consequences of plant exposure to salt stress are water deficit and ion excess, which lead to several morphological and physiological changes. in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on some physiological characteristics of 8 spring rapeseed cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the greenhouse at ya...

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 ...
