to determine the relative salt tolerance and/or resistance in seedlings of pistachio genotypes, four pot experimentswere conducted. in experiments 1 and 2, the effects of salinity on growth indices were studid. experiments were donein the form of split plot based on rcbd. in each experiment, mainplots consisted of different electrical conductivitiesof irrigation water (eciws). in experiment 1, ...

AbstractThis study was undertaken to better understand the probable mechanisms of salt stress tolerance induced by seed priming of salicylic acid (SA) in barley. The barley seeds were pre-soaked by SA or water and then sown under different saline watering regimes including 0.62 (tapwater), 5, 10 and 15 dS m-1 in petri dishes and trend of water absorbing, seedling growth, germination rate and pe...

abstract salinity tolerance is one of the major factor influencing crop productivity in arid and semi-arid areas. the salinity tolerance of fruit trees can be enhanced through the use of tolerant rootstocks. this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salinity stress and rootstock on the growth, photosynthetic rate and nutrient concentrations of almond (prunus dulcis miller.) cv...

among abiotic stresses, salinity has been increasing over the time for many reasons like using chemical fertilizers, global warming and rising sea levels. under salinity stress, the loss of water availability, toxicity of na+ and ion imbalance directly reduces carbon fixation and biomass production in plants. k+ is a major agent that can counteract na+ stresses, thus the potential of plants to ...

salt stress is one of the most chalanging abiotic stresses affecting natural productivity and causing significant croplosses worldwide. a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of two alfalfa cultivars (bamiand hamedani) to 6 levels of salinity (0 as control, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mm nacl) at the college of agriculture,shiraz university, shiraz, iran in 2008. plant dry weig...

To investigate the effects of saline stress on seed germination, ion distribution, and organic solutes changes of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), in the present study, seeds and 3-week-old seedlings were subjected to a series of external NaCl concentrations (5–200 mmol). The results showed that high salinity (200 mmol) remarkably inhibited the germination of seed and delayed germination time ...

matricaria chamomilla is a medicinal plant that is widely cultivated in salt affected soils. this investigation was undertaken to study the effect of nacl concentration on germination, and the physiological, biochemical and growth characteristics of chamomile. seed germination and growth were studied at five nacl concentration levels (0, 40, 80, 120 and 190 mm nacl concentration). increasing th...
