Auxin not only controls the development processes, but also regulates stress responses of plants. In this investigation, we explored potential roles exogenously applied indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in conferring salt tolerance faba bean (Vicia L.). Our results showed that foliar application IAA (200 ppm) to salt-exposed (60 mM and 150 NaCl) plants promoted growth, which was evidenced by enhanced ...

to study the effect of salinity stress on some physiological attributes of four grape cultivars in vineyards of urmia in iran, an experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replications. experimental factors included: grape cultivars qazel ozum, qareh shireh, tabrzeh and dizmari, and salt concentrations 0, 25, 50 and 100 mmol l-1 and locati...

Functional properties of protein from mantle and fin of the jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas were explained based on microscopic muscle fiber and protein fractions profiles as observed in SDS-PAGE. Fin has higher content of connective tissue and complex fiber arrangement, and we observed higher hardness of fin gels as expected. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) was found in sarcoplasmic, myofibril and solubl...

Salt-affected soil is one of the most important abiotic stresses, leading to reduce rice productivity in many regions of the world. The objective of this investigation was to determine the Na, soluble sugar and starch contents and expression of some starch-related genes in two genotypes, Pokkali (salt tolerant) and IR29 (salt sensitive), grown under 200 mM NaCl. Three-week-old rice seedlings cv...

The effects of salt stress (100, 200, 300 mmol/L) on physiological characteristics Solanum nigrum seedlings were studied by pot experiment. results showed that the contents chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids and total in S. leaves a trend first flattening then increasing with aggravation stress. With stress, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance intercellular CO2 concentration decreased grad...

The effectiveness of acidity and supplementation with different concentration of sodium chloride salt on function properties for whey protein powder prepared from salted and unsalted whey were investigated. The resultant whey protein powder was in a denatured form and contained about 50% protein. Whey protein powder from salted whey was generally more water soluble at any particular pH values (...

A soluble rat liver protein that stimulates microsomal methyl sterol oxidase activity has been isolated and purified to homogeneity by salt fractionation, differential heat inactivation, two calcium phosphate gel association, and Sephadex filtration. The protein, as isolated, may be dissociated with detergent into subunits with a molecular weight of approximately 10,300, as determined electroph...
