Carbohydrate Content and Root Growth in Seeds Germinated Under Salt Stress

Exogenous Melatonin Improves Antioxidant Defense in Cucumber Seeds (Cucumis sativus L.) Germinated under Chilling Stress

The relationship between exogenous melatonin applied into cucumber seeds during osmopriming and modifications of their antioxidant defense was studied. Accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione pool were investigated in embryonic axes isolated from the control, osmoprimed, and osmoprimed with melatonin seeds. Germinating cucumber seeds are very sensitive t...

The Study of SOS Genes Expression in Mutant Barley Root under Salt Stress

Soil salinity is one of the most critical factors reducing crop yield. SOS signaling is one of the significant pathways that regulate ion homeostasis and it has the important role in mechanism of plant resistance to environmental stresses such as salt stress. Roots are the first organ of plants exposed to salt, so the role of genes involved in this pathway and their relation to salt tolerance w...

relation between root growth traits and physiological indices of two bread wheat cultivars under salt stress

the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

Comparative ionomics and growth factors alteration in Lotus corniculatus under salt stress.

In order to understand the response of Lotus corniculatus to salt stress, ions content and some growth factors were analyzed in three varieties of this plant, namely, Ardebil, Karaj, and Jolfa. Lotus corniculatus plants were exposed to 0, 50, 100, and 150 mM NaCl in hydroponic condition. The amounts of anions (Cl-and NO3-) and cations (K+ and Na+) in leaves as well as shoot and root dry weights...

DIFFERENT GROWTH RESPONSES OF THE AXIAL AND COTYLEDONARY TISSUES OF SUNFLOWER SEEDS TO C H UNDER WATER AND SALT STRESSES
