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...

considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, agropyron desertorum (fisch. ex link) schult. in ...

Background: Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori. is a small tree, which grows in south east of Iran. The shoot and root of M. peregrina contain volatile oil which has several isothiocyanates. Objective: To study the effect of salinity on volatile constituents of root and shoot of M. peregrina. Methods: The experiment was conducted on randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with 8 treatments...

In this study, we assessed the combined effect of Cd concentration and salinity, on Cd uptake and mortality rate of Littorina littorea, collected along a salinity and pollution gradient in the Western Scheldt estuary (The Netherlands). Animals kept at their field salinity levels were exposed to three Cd concentrations (i.e. 10, 40 and 320 microM), while animals kept in 10 microM of Cd were subj...

This study was conducted at Biology Department, Faculty of Science,Taif University, Saudi Arabia to investigate the effect of different salinity concentrations 8.6, 12.9, 17.2, 25.9, 34.5, 51.7, 86.2, 103.4 and 120.7 mM NaCl, beside control treatment (tap water) on growth parameters, leaf measurements and leaf chemical constituents of jojoba (Simmondsiachinensis (Link) Schneider). The results i...

The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of ethyl methane sulfonate (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5%) on some physiological characteristics of regenerated plants from calli of stevia at 30, 60 and 120 min under various levels of salinity stress (0, 50 and 100 mM of NaCl). This experiment was carried out based on completely randomized two-factorial designs with th...

the present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of using drainage water mixed with water to irrigate sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) in khuzestan province. the investigation was conducted in research center of sugarcane in farming seasons of years 2008-2009. four salinity levels of irrigation water were selected (s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively with salinite...
