A glasshouse study was conducted to measure the effects of salinity and drought stresses on growth and chemical and biochemical composition of 4 onion cultivars. The cultivars were Dessex, Texas Early Grano (Texas), Dehydrator, and PX492. Salinity treatments included control, 45mM NaCl, 45mM NaCl + 5mM CaCl2 and drought treatments were control (maintaining soil moisture at field capacity) and...

Most researches on wheat and barley breeding for salt tolerance have focused mainly on excluding Na+ from different tissues but the results of some experiments suggest that contribution of Na+ exclusion to salt tolerance is overshadowed by other physiological responses. Three bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance (Arg, Tajan and Baharan) and one barley cultivar (Nik) were employed t...

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...

In the present study, the effect of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) (0, 50, 100, and 200 µM) and salt stress (2 (non-stress), 4 and 8 dS m-1) on the improvement of salinity stress tolerance in narcissus was studied in the Research Greenhouse, Islamic Azad University of Isfahan (Khorasgan) during 2019-2020. In this research, a pot experiment was conducted, as factorial based on ran...

In order to study the diverse effects of seed priming with 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) (0, 0.1, 1 mg/l) to increase tolerance of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) to salinity (0, 70 and 140 mM NaCl), the experiments were conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design at greenhouse condition. Results showed that salt stress significantly decreased the growth of tomato plan...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of methyl jasmonate (MJ) on salinity stress alleviation of coriander plantlet. The experiment was set up as factorial experiment in completely randomized design with two factors including NaCl concentration (0, 3 and 6 ds/m) and MJ at three levels (0, 0.25 or 0.5 mM). The results showed that salt stress decreased fresh and dry weight of aerial, co...

To evaluate the effect of salinity (S) and vermicompost (V) on yield and concentration of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) of spinach shoots cv. Virofly, a pot experiment was conducted in greenhouse, and arranged as factorial in a completely randomized design with three rep...
