to answer this question that if osmopriming improve germination indices in salinity-affected seeds of pinus eldarica medw., a factorial experiment in randomized completely design was carried out with three replications. osmotic treatments were applied in 5 levels (-2, -4, -6 and -8 bar for 72 hours and non-primed) by polyethylene glycol (peg) and salinity treatments in 8 levels (0, 40, 80, 120,...

Salinity-affected and heavy metal-contaminated soils limit the growth of glycophytic plants. Identifying genes responsible for superior tolerance to salinity and heavy metals in halophytes has great potential for use in developing salinity- and Cd-tolerant glycophytes. The objective of this study was to identify salinity- and Cd-tolerance related genes in seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum),...

abstract in order to study the effects of salinity and silicon application on biomass of leaves and root of purslane (portulaca oleracea l.), a greenhouse experiment was conducted at research greenhouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad using completely randomized desgin with three replications. employed two factors consisted of three levels of salinity using nacl (0.6, 11, 22 ds/m) and two lev...

vetiver grass is known to survive under diverse soil and water conditions. in order to test its potential of salinity and aridity tolerance ability, the effect of salinity and aridity stress on the growth of the vetiveria zizanioides was studied by growing plants in arid soils that receiving salinity stress. the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, arrangement in a completely randomized de...

Halophytes are remarkable plants that can tolerate extremely high-salinity conditions, and have different salinity tolerance mechanisms from those of glycophytic plants. In this work, we investigated the mechanisms of salinity tolerance of an extreme halophyte, Kochia sieversiana (Pall.) C. A. M, using RNA sequencing and physiological tests. The results showed that moderate salinity stimulated ...

Although alfalfa is moderately tolerant of salinity, the effects of salinity on nutrient composition and forage parameters are poorly understood. In addition, there are no data on the effect of salinity on the antioxidant capacity of alfalfa. We evaluated four non-dormant, salinity-tolerant commercial cultivars, irrigated with saline water with electrical conductivities of 3.1, 7.2, 12.7, 18.4,...

Salinity stress has significant negative effects on plant biomass production and crop yield. Salinity tolerance is controlled by complex systems of gene expression and ion transport. The relationship between specific features of mild salinity stress adaptation and gene expression was analyzed using four commercial varieties of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) that have different levels of salini...

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...

abstractbackground and objectives: in most saline and non-saline soils, nitrogen is the most restrictive nutrient for plant growth. in saline soils, interactive effects of salinity and soil fertility is very important from optimum production. nutrient imbalance is one of the problems with saline soils. in these circumstances, the fertilizer application may to increase osmotic effect of salt, th...
