this research was conducted to study the effects of different salinity levels and exposure times on grain yield and yield components in a green-house experiment at gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources during 2007- 2008 growing season. a factorial sand culture experiment with three completely randomized replications was used. salinity levels were -0.002, -0.25, -0.50, ...

background: moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori. is a small tree, which grows in south east of iran. the shoot and root of m. peregrina contain volatile oil which has several isothiocyanates. objective: to study the effect of salinity on volatile constituents of root and shoot of m. peregrina. methods: the experiment was conducted on randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) with 8 treatments and ...

This research was carried out to assessment agro physiological traits of bread wheat affected salinity stress, Nano zinc oxide and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi under greenhouse condition via factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Experimental factors included salinity stress in three levels [no-salt (S0) or control, salinity 40 (S1), and 80 ...

Solar stills are very simple to construct and to operate but their efficiency and productivity are fairly low. To increase the yield from stills different methods were adopted. In this paper, an experimental investigation on single and double effect desalination systems are reported and effects of some parameters such as water depth, input radiation intensity and salinity on the productivity of...

Most marine mollusks are osmoconformers, in that, their body fluid osmolality changes in the direction of the change in environmental salinity. Marine mollusks exhibit a number of osmoregulatory mechanisms to cope with either hypo- or hyperosmotic stress. The effects of changes in salinity on the osmoregulatory mechanisms of the hard clam (Meretrix lusoria, an economically important species of ...

kochia (kochia scoparia l. schard) is an annual, halophyte and drought resistant plant that can be irrigated with saline water and a valuable source for forage under drought and saline ecosystem. in order to evaluate the germination characteristic of kochia under different temperatures and salinity stress levels, an experiment was conducted at physiology lab of ferdowsi university of mashhad, i...

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...
