a greenhouse research work was conducted to study the patterns of na+ and k+ distribution in root, stem and leaf during three growth stages of four iranian alfalfa ecotypes and to find correlation between these patterns and plant salt tolerance. treatments were replicated three times in a factorial experiment of a completely randomized block design. based on the threshold of salt tolerance in a...

This research was conducted to evaluate effects of mycorrhiza fungi and nano zinc oxide on agro physiological traits of wheat under salinity stress based on factorial experiment according complete randomized block design with three replications under greenhouse condition at 2014. Treatments included salinity in three levels [no-salt (S0) or control, salinity 40 (S1) and 80 (S2) mM NaCl], two le...

potassium plays an important role in improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salinity stress. to evaluate the effect of potassium on salinity tolerance of two wheat cultivars, kavir (as salt tolerant) and qods (as salt-sensitive), a pot experiment was conducted, using a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in different treatments (...

The influence of exogenous application of glycine betaine (GlyBet) was examined on photosynthetic pigments and ions concentration of safflower under salinity stress conditions. The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design arranged as a factorial with three replications. Salinity treatments (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) were applied using sodium chloride (NaCl). GlyBet (0, 10, 3...

in wheat na+ exclusion and k+/na+ have shown to be associated with salinity tolerance, therefore in order to identify qtls with additive effect for na+ and k+ concentration traits in roots and shoots of wheat, 319  bread wheat recombinant inbred lines (ril f7), derived from a cross between roshan cultivar (salt tolerant) and falat cultivar (salt sensitive), along with their parents and 2 checks...

Although vast areas in tropical regions have weathered soils with low potassium (K) levels, little is known about the effects of K supply on the photosynthetic physiology of trees. This study assessed the effects of K and sodium (Na) supply on the diffusional and biochemical limitations to photosynthesis in Eucalyptus grandis leaves. A field experiment comparing treatments receiving K (+K) or N...

Salt stress is one of the major constraints for wheat cultivation inIranand leads to a considerable loss in crop yield each year. In high salinity soils, the reduced osmotic potential of soil solutes may cause physiological drought. In this study the salt tolerance of different drought-tolerant bread wheat genotypes were studied by examining various agronomic and physiological traits, inclu...

a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design (crd) was performed with three replications to investigate the interaction between salinity and nh+4 / no-3 ratio on olive saplings. four levels of salinity (0, 50, 100,150 mm) and different ratios of nh+4/ no-3 (0:14, 2:12, 4:10, 6:8) were applied on one-year old olive saplings grown in perlite: sand media (1:1). results indicated th...
