Salt-alkaline stress generally leads to soil compaction and fertility decline. It also restricts rice growth and phosphorus acquisition. In this pot experiment, two relatively salt-alkaline tolerant (Dongdao-4 and Changbai-9) and sensitive (Changbai-25 and Tongyu-315) rice genotypes were planted in sandy (control) and salt-alkaline soil to evaluate the characteristics of dry matter and phosphor...

salt stress is one of the most chalanging abiotic stresses affecting natural productivity and causing significant croplosses worldwide. a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of two alfalfa cultivars (bamiand hamedani) to 6 levels of salinity (0 as control, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mm nacl) at the college of agriculture,shiraz university, shiraz, iran in 2008. plant dry weig...

Continental rifted margins are often associated with widespread, thick evaporite (i.e., salt) deposits and pronounced salt tectonics. The majority of basins formed during the latest stages rifting, prior to continental breakup. We use 2D thermo-mechanical finite element modeling lithospheric extension investigate interplay between margin architecture, late syn-rift deposition, post-rift focus o...

Salinity is one of major stresses which can severely limit plant production, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions. The present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of salinity stress on some physio-biochemical parameters in nitre bush plants (Nitraria schoberi). Thus, an experiment was carried out under natural conditions and salinity stress was induced by a combination of diffe...

this research was carried on to evaluate the response of rapeseed varieties to salt stress. in this experiment growth response of three rapeseed varieties (fornex, consoul and okamer) in four salinity levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 mmol nacl) was investigated using a factorial arrangement of factors in a complete randomized block design with three replications. results incicated that in the highest ...

The contributing role of vascular endothelium in the development of hypertension-related vascular damage is well accepted. Salt-sensitive hypertension is characterized by a cluster of renal, hormonal, and metabolic derangements that might favor the development of cardiovascular and renal damage. To evaluate endothelial involvement in salt-sensitive essential hypertension, plasma levels of sever...
