The SbPIP1 gene is a new member of the plasma membrane major intrinsic gene family cloned from the euhalophyte Salicornia bigelovii Torr. In order to understand the physiological responses in plants that are mediated by the SbPIP1 gene, SbPIP1-overexpressing wheat lines and WT plants of the wheat cv. Ningmai 13 were treated with salt stress. Several physiological parameters, such as the proline...

introduction dehydration is one of the limiting factors of crop production. it results from increasing the amount of water losses from leaf or inadequate water absorption rate or combination of both. zinc used in many enzymes of the plant tissues and have catalytic role in activation of some enzymes. zinc is involved in the synthesis and degradation of proteins and is an essential micronutrien...

to survey the effects of nutritional and growth regulator components on adverse effects of recent consecutive droughts, an experiment was conducted on uniform grape trees (vitisviniferal.clv.'khalili') in bavanat and shiraz (akbar-abad) regions in 2010- 2011.trial was arranged in a randomized complete blockdesign (rcbd), with three replication and five trees per each plot. experimental treatmen...

Five Malaysian rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, MR33, MR52, MR211, MR219, and MR232, were tested in pot culture under different salinity regimes for biochemical response, physiological activity, and grain yield. Three different levels of salt stresses, namely, 4, 8, and 12 dS m(-1), were used in a randomized complete block design with four replications under glass house conditions. The results...

theeffect of salt stress on the pysiological and biochemical responses of the seedlings of eight eucalyptus species viz. e. kingsmillii, e. tetragona, e. salubris, e. occidentali, e. microtheca, e. camaldulensis, e. globules and e. sargentii was analyzed. four month-old seedlings grown in greenhouse were watered by five levels of salt solution (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm of nacl) in five replic...

introduction drought stress is the most important growth limiting factor for crop production. sugar accumulation under drought stress strengthens and stabilizes cell membranes and maintains the water absorption and turgid property. under stress conditions, proline will also maintain the turgor pressure and decreased the damages caused to plant membrane. although proline concentrations may have ...
