Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey) Bunge is one of the important species arid desert vegetation in China, and it also an ideal material for studying plant stress resistance, which plays extremely role protecting ecosystems preventing land desertification. However, there are relatively few studies on regeneration fusiform, genetic transformation system has not been successfully reported, restricts ...

BACKGROUND Water influences various physiological and ecological processes of plants in different ecosystems, especially in desert ecosystems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the response of physiological and morphological acclimation of two shrubs Haloxylon ammodendron and Calligonum mongolicunl to variations in irrigation intervals. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The irrigation ...

The effect of mesoporous titanium dioxide nanoparticles on germination traits black saxaul seeds (Haloxylon aphyllum (Minkw.) Iljin) under drought stress

root and shoot osmotic and elastic properties of two species of haloxylon aphyllum and h.persicum in response to water stress were studied. the main goal of the study was to determine if the tissuesof two species utilize osmotic adjustment and/or enhance their elastic property during prolonged water stresscondition. the results showed that although tissue elasticity of both species of haloxylon...

desertification leads to decrease in the ecosystem c pool and attendant reduction in soil organic carbon (soc). reclamation of sandy land in arid and semi-arid has a high potential to increase carbon sequestration and improving soil quality. our objective as to examine the changes in the soil carbon sequestration and soil properties of two soil layers (0–20 and 20-50 cm) under two types of recl...

present research was conducted with the aim of determination of significant effect of soil properties on natural regeneration of haloxylon aphyllum and correlation coefficient and linear relation between soil variables and natural regeneration of haloxylon aphyllum. firstly, geomorphologic units were prepared in the areas under cultivation of haloxylon aphyllum in ardestan. two cultivated lands...
