Environmental stress to plants is more detrimental than biotic stress. Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, heavy metal toxicity, and oxidative stress, are serious threats agriculture lead deterioration of the environment. leads a series morphological, physiological, biochemical, molecular changes that have harmful effect on plant growth productivity. Recently endo...

using plant growth regulators at the stresses environment can improve plant growth and crop production. hence, in this research response of photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll, soluble sugar and flower dry weight of chamomile to methyl jasmonate under different salinity levels was studied. values of 0 (control), 75, 150, 225 and 300μm methyl jasmonate (meja) with salinity levels of 2, 6, 10 and 14...

BACKGROUND Extracellular dissolved DNA has been demonstrated to be present in many terrestrial and aquatic environments, actively secreted, or released by decaying cells. Free DNA has the genetic potential to be acquired by living competent cells by horizontal gene transfer mediated by natural transformation. The aim of this work is to study the persistence of extracellular DNA and its biologic...

Wooden groin systems on the southwestern Baltic Sea coast are a traditional and important coastal-protection facility, but have been regularly infested and destroyed by the wood-boring bivalve Teredo navalis since the early 1990s. The occurrence of T. navalis was presumed to be limited mainly by the prevailing low salinities. Recently, a possible range expansion of this invasive species to the ...

This research explores the thermal and osmotic tolerance of the polyp stage of the Irukandji jellyfish Carukia barnesi, which provides new insights into potential polyp habitat suitability. The research also targets temperature, salinity, feeding frequency, and combinations thereof, as cues for synchronous medusae production. Primary findings revealed 100% survivorship in osmotic treatments bet...

Rapid development of plants is important for the production of 'baby-leaf' lettuce that is harvested when plants reach the four- to eight-leaf stage of growth. However, environmental factors, such as high or low temperature, or elevated concentrations of salt, inhibit lettuce growth. Therefore, non-destructive evaluations of plants can provide valuable information to breeders and growers. The o...

laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the effects of drought and salinity stress, temperature, ph and soil depth on rye germination and emergence in gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources. optimum temperature for germination between 25 to 34.51   oc and base and ceiling temperatures were estimated as 3.3 and 40   oc, respectively. this volunt...
