Growth and physiological parameters under salinity stress in Lotus corniculatus. Marjan Azarafshan and Nasser Abbaspour *

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...

Growth responses and aquaporin expression in grape genotypes under salinity. Nayer Mohammadkhani*, Reza Heidari, Nasser Abbaspour and Fatemeh Rahmani

The effects of salinity on growth, leaf area and water relations of two grape genotypes (Gharashani and Shirazi) were studied under 2-week salinity (25, 50 and 100 mM NaCl). Growth and fresh weights of all plant parts were significantly (p

Effect of mycorrhizal fungus on growth and physiological parameters of sunflower and safflower under Cd stress.

A greenhouse experiment with potted plants was conducted to study the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza (Glomus intraradices) fungal inoculation on The growth, cadmium concentration and The activates of antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT)) in sunflower and safflower in four levels of Cd (0, 2.5, 5 and 25 mg Cd kg-1 soil). Treatment were arranged in the experiment fa...

Plant Growth and Development under Salinity Stress

Plant growth and development are adversely affected by salinity – a major environmental stress that limits agricultural production. This chapter provides an overview of the physiological mechanisms by which growth and development of crop plants are affected by salinity. The initial phase of growth reduction is due to an osmotic effect, is similar to the initial response to water stress and show...
