Green and white sturgeon are species of high conservational and economic interest, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Delta (SFBD) for which significant climate change-derived alterations in salinity and nutritional patterns are forecasted. Although there is paucity of information, it is critical to test the network of biological responses underlying the capacity of animals to tolerate curre...

Although the roles of ethylene in plant response to salinity and other stresses have been extensively studied, there are still some obscure points left to be clarified. Generally, in Arabidopsis and many other terrestrial plants, ethylene signaling is indispensable for plant rapid response and tolerance to salinity stress. However, a few studies showed that functional knock-out of some ACSs inc...

determination of chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence has the potential needed to analyze the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants against environmental stresses, especially salinity, and its simplicity facilitates stress evaluation. in order to study the response of different photosynthetic characters to salinity stress at different sugar beet growth stages, two separate experime...

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...

abstract different strategies are existed for adjusting with water shortage, of which the strategy of suitable policies adoption by determining optimum production function can be mentioned. water shortage and quality degradation of soil and water resources is one of main factors of production reduction. therefore, this study was carried out for determination of tomato sensitivity coefficients a...

A pot experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different salinity levels on growth and ion contents of black seeds (Nigella sativa L.) at Shakarganj Botanic Garden, Jhang, Pakistan. There were three levels of NaCl salinity as 0 (control), 3 dS/m and 6 dS/m. All growth attributes such as fresh and dry shoot weights, shoot length decreased with increase in salinity levels, but in contrast...

Abiotic stress has a growing impact on plant growth and agricultural activity worldwide. Specific plant growth promoting rhizobacteria have been reported to stimulate growth and tolerance to abiotic stress in plants, and molecular mechanisms like phytohormone synthesis and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deamination are usual candidates proposed to mediate these bacterial effects. Paraburkhol...

The effect of salinity on growth, photosynthetic performance and osmotic acclimation was investigated in the eulittoral red algal species Bangiopsis subsimplex (Stylonematophyceae). The strain grew in a broad salinity range between 1 and 70 psu showing optimum growth between 10 and 50 psu. The saturation point Ik of the photosynthesis irradiance curves ranged between 153 and 83 μmol photons m s...

This study reports effect of salinity on some growth attributes of two sugarcane cultivars at grand growth stage, in comparison with the control plants. In view of data presented here for different growth attributes, it is clear that responses of two varieties of sugarcane were different at different salinity levels. However, saline growth medium caused an overall reduction in growth in both th...
