In the turfgrass industry, the need for salinity tolerant turfgrasses is increasing because of the increased use of saline and non-potable water. Greenhouse container experiments were conducted to determine the relative salinity tolerance and growth responses of eleven native populations of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schrub) (TF), including: Semirom, Mashhad, Sanandaj, Yasuj, Yazd Abad, D...

abstract one way of the increasing saline tolerance in citrus plants is grafting of sensitive commercial cultivars on to tolerant rootstocks. sweet lime (citrus limetta) is one of the most sensitive species to salinity of soil and water, and under such conditions, drastic reduction of both vegetative and yield occured. this reaserch was conducted in completely randomaized design with factorial ...

in this research 220 rhizobial bacteria were isolated from two lentil dryland farming flat plains of moghan and koohin. they were then tested in vivo as well as in vitro to make assurance of 184 purified strains of rhizobium leguminosarum biovar vicial (lentil). btb +yma culture media with different levels of salinity through nacl (10, 20,30,40,50ds/m) application were used in salinity toleranc...

The ability of harmful algal species to form dense, nearly monospecific blooms remains an ecological and evolutionary puzzle. We hypothesized that predation interacts with estuarine salinity gradients to promote blooms of Heterosigma akashiwo (Y. Hada) Y. Hada ex Y. Hara et M. Chihara, a cosmopolitan toxic raphidophyte. Specifically, H. akashiwo's broad salinity tolerance appears to provide a r...

However, the phylogenetic relationships of the species o...

Abstract Millets are important agricultural crops for arid regions due to short life span and their resistance to salinity and drought conditions. In Iran, three main species of millets including proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) are cultivated in Shouthern Khorasan province, eastern Iran. In order to assess inter-specific...

BACKGROUND: In order to investigate the induction of salinity tolerance in CP72-1312 commercial cultivar in tissue culture condition, an experiment was carried out in the tissue culture laboratory of Karoun Agro-Industry Company in 2017 year. OBJECTIVES: At this study we evaluated tolerance of CP73-1312 sugarcane commercial cultivar to salt stress in tiss...
