background: although borage ( borago officinalis l.) is a valuable medicinal plant, no information is available on the responses of this plant to salinity. for this reason, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity .  objective: since germination and early growth stage is one of the most critical phases of plant life under salinity condition this experiment was conducted ...

various researches on laboratory and field scale illustrate that manipulating the ionic composition and the ion concentration of injected water can affect the efficiency of water flooding and the interaction of injected water with rock and other fluids present in porous media. the objectives of this paper are to investigate parameters that affect low salinity water flooding; mainly the effect o...

[1] Salinity profiles collected by the International Argo Project (International Argo Project data are available at http://argo.jcommops.org) since 2000 provide us an unprecedented opportunity to study impacts of salinity data on the quality of ocean analysis, which has been hampered by a lack of salinity observations historically. The operational Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS) d...

Invasive species are commonly thought to have broad tolerances that enable them to colonize new habitats, but this assumption has rarely been tested. In particular, the relative importance of acclimation (plasticity) and adaptation for invasion success are poorly understood. This study examined effects of short-term and developmental acclimation on adult salinity tolerance in the copepod Euryte...

salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and plant establishment. salinity affects imbibition, germination and root elongation. in this study, the germination characteristics of matricaria comomilla and thymus deanensis were studied. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity on germination of these species....

salinity and drought stress are among the common environmental factors which adversely affect germination and growth of plants. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salinity and drought stress on turnip seed germination and early growth in seed lab of college of agriculture, university of tehran, during 2010. the experimental design was a complete randomized block with three...

salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic factors that restrict the growth and yield of many plants. salinity can increasingly influence the host susceptibility, occurrence and development of plant diseases due to its negative effects on the host plants. mycorrhizal fungi are able to increase the tolerance of some plants to salinity. in this study, the biological effects of glomus mo...

Objective of this study was to evaluation Changes in proline, catalase and germination characteristics of barley seeds under salinity stress. Salinity stress at osmotic potentials of 0 (as control), 4, -8, -12 and -16 bar were adjusted using NaCl before the start of the experiment. Our results showed that, the effect of salinity levels for all traits was significantly. With, increases of salini...
