background and objectives: infunction of the photosynthetic apparatus of halophytes plays an important role in their salinity tolerance. kochia as a halophyte, is of high ability in biomass production in salinity stress conditions. thus study photosynthesis and the related factors salinity stress can provide appropriate physiological view for better understanding of the plant mechanisms of in s...

Photosynthetic efficiency is a critical determinant of crop yield potential, although it remains below the theoretical optimum in modern crop varieties. Enhancing mesophyll conductance (i.e. the rate of carbon dioxide diffusion from substomatal cavities to the sites of carboxylation) may increase photosynthetic and water use efficiencies. To improve water use efficiency, mesophyll conductance s...

investigation of physiological responses to water deficit in sesame (sesamum indicum l.) genotypes can help to identify effective mechanisms of plant resistance to stress. therefore, chlorophyll content, proline, soluble carbohydrates, net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, maximum quantum efficiency (fv/fm), plant height and shoot dry weight in a complete block factorial pot experiment...

a factorial pot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with fourreplications was carried out in order to evaluate salt tolerance of four sugar beet cultivarsincluding madison (british origin) and three iranian cultivars (7233-p12, 7233-p21 and7233-p29) using carbon isotope discrimination (δ). plants were grown in sand culturemedium in greenhouse conditions. sugar beet cultivars w...

in this study the response of 9 rapeseed genotypes were evaluated at the seedling stage using different irrigation levels (50, 70 and 100% fc). a factorial experiment based on rcbd was conducted in the research greenhouses of urmia university with four replications during summer of 2013. some physiological traits such as relative water content, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesi...
