To examine the response of three rapeseed varieties to salinity stress, a pot experiment was conducted in a glasshouse using a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Three levels of NaCl (0, 100 and 200 mM NaCl) were imposed as the salinity treatments at root establishment (leaf 4) stage. In this study, sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) concentra...

An understanding of physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance is necessary for breeding programs, in order to select the desired trait in different wheat genotypes. Three bread wheat genotype differing in salt tolerance were employed to assess ion distribution and growth responses under saline conditions. To evaluate ion distribution in plant, sodium and potassium concentrations as well as K+/...

abstract venlafaxine, 1–[2–(dimethylamino)–1–(4–methoxyphenyl) ethyl]cyclohexanol hydrochloride is a novel non-tricyclic antidepressant. venlafaxine is a second generation antidepressant drug, has a neuropharmacologic profile distinct from that of existing antidepressants including tricyclic compounds, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. venlafaxine impart...

Enlarged root systems that extend into the salt affected soil improve water and nutrient capture by plants and can increase plant productivity. In order to examine root system characteristics of four bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (Arg, Ofoq, Tajan and Morvarid) a greenhouse experiment was conducted with applying two salinity levels (0 and 150 mM NaCl) on plants grown in PV...

The fig, a sub-tropical crop, consumes as a table fruit as well as a dry product. Since, salinity is the serious concern of fig production, during 2016-2018, seven fig cultivars (‘Sabzʼ, ‘Siyahʼ, ‘Shah Anjirʼ, ‘Atabakiʼ, ‘Kashkiʼ, ‘Matiʼ and ‘Barʼ) were subjected to saline water (0.5, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 dSm-1). Then, potein, proline, photosynthetic pigments, superoxide dismutase, catalase, guaia...
