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+/...

The effect of salinity stress on the antioxidant activity of catalase and peroxidase enzymes, relative water content, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of eight safflower (‍Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes differing in salinity tolerance (4 salt tolerant and 4 salt sensitive) were evaluated. This study was conducted using a split plot design arranged as a completely randomized design replic...

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...

1 Department of agronomy and plant breeding, College of Agricultural, Isfahan University of Techchnology, Iran *Corresponding Author: Abstract: The effects of salt stress on the activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes, carotenoid content, the rate of lipid peroxidation (LP) in term of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substan...

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...
