Transport of estuarine sediment have a highly complex method, which is the combined effects result periodically reciprocating flow, ocean waves, and electrochemical characteristic sea water [1]. Settling velocity (SV) such parameter fundamental for researchers so that its accurate resolution has been regarded as top priority in correcting modelling numerical conceptual understanding fine dynami...

Salinity is one of the major environmental stresses that limit plant growth and productivity. Glasswort (Salicornia herbacea L.) is one of the native halophytic plants of Iran that widely spread in salt areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological and growth responses of S. herbacea to salinity stress. Plastic pods (15 cm diameter, 20 cm height) with the Silica sand bed w...

Buergeria japonica is one of a few frogs that breed in coastal areas. To understand why this species can breed in coastal areas, I tested the salinity tolerance of eggs of B. japonica collected from a coastal area of Okinawa Island, Japan. All eggs hatched within four days after oviposition. At 0%. salinity (control), over 94% of eggs hatched normally, and even at 1 per thousand salinity over 8...

Salinity is an abiotic stress factor that can cause significant crop yield losses. Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant element that is usually limited in most agricultural soils. Recently, incorporation of additives such as N-(n-butyl) Thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and Dicyandiaminde (DCD) into N fertilizers has been done with the purpose of increasing N use efficiency of crops. To our knowledg...

Salinity is one of the most important constrain affecting crop growth and productivity. Hence studying salinity at morphological and biochemical point of view has become the basis for understanding salinity and plant interactions. Under stress, plants survive by enhancing the osmolyte accumulation by complex metabolic activities. Present investigation deals with the effect of salinity on growth...

Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization. Plant adaptation or tolerance to salinity stress involves complex physiological traits, metabolic pathways, and molecular or gene networks. A comprehensive understanding on how plants respond to salinity str...

the accuracy and effectiveness of precision agriculture is highly depending on accuracy and time analysis of the soil moisture conditions. monitoring of the soil water status is a proper method for optimizing the agricultural irrigation. automation irrigation, based on soil moisture measurement by smart sensors has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moistu...

Salinity is a common abiotic stress during the cotton growing season. Salinity stress causes a series of negative effects on cotton growth, yield, and fiber quality. Although cotton is considered as moderately sensitive to saline with a . dS m-1 threshold salinity level, its yield, quality, and seed germination are affected by different salinity levels. Therefore, identification of salt-toleran...

In this study, the effects of salinity stress (NaCl) on the activity of Catalase (CAT), Guaiacol Peroxidase (POD), and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied in leaves of fifteen oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivars (Champlain, Hayola401, Licord, Modena, NK Aviator, NK Karibik, NK Octan, Okapy, Opera, PF, RGS, RNX 3621, SLM046, Talayeh, Zarfam). Plants were grown in a greenhouse under co...

By varying all combinations of developmental stages and pulse exposures of zebrafish embryos, effect of salinity (S) was examined. Zebrafish embryos survived until hatching at 2‰ S alone. Tolerance to salinity increased with advancing developmental stage, i.e. the gastrulae were more tolerant to salinity change than the blastulae and the blastulae were more tolerant than the cleaving embryos. C...
