The aim of this study was to determine the nutritive value of some legume species in salt-affected soils of South-East Anatolian region using chemical composition and in vitro gas production kinetics. In this study, Lotus corniculatus, Trifolium alexandrinum, Medicago sativa were sown and tested in four different locations. A 3 by 4 factorial design with 3 legume species and 4 salt levels (non ...

salinity problem is continuously increasing in the arid and semi-arid regions of iran. to effectively utilize germplasm resources in breeding, it is necessary to characterize and evaluate genotypes for the desirable traits and as well for salinity tolerance. salinity tolerance of 80 wheat landraces from different parts of iran was studied in two steps. at first, the degree of salnity tolerance ...

Bennett et al. [1] present the phylogenetic distribution of salt-tolerant species on a phylogeny of 2684 grasses in the context of plant breeding for salt-tolerance. Salt-tolerance, they conclude, is an evolutionary labile trait that has evolved a number of times across many lineages; this is at odds with the record of difficulty in breeding salt-tolerant crops. One potential explanation for th...

Declining water quantity and quality poor land, water, crop management practices are leading to increasing soil salinity, land degradation, desertification, threatening the overall sustainability of production system in irrigated drylands. Assessments salinity dynamics indicators under alternative agricultural needed identify right combination that improve while minimizing environmental degrada...
