In this research, the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid, as a key precursor in the biosynthesis of porphyrin compounds such as chlorophyll, in mitigating salt stress were studied in Lycopersicum esculentum mill. Salinity at three levels (0, 50 and 75 mM NaCl) and ALA treatment at three levels (0, 1 and 2 mM) were applied on plants of this species. Both levels of salt (50 and 75 mM) reduced shoot...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt stress on some agro-physiological traits in ten varieties of bread (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum (Triticum turgidum L.) wheats in seedling stage. A greenhouse experiment was carried out as a split plot experiment based on a completely randomized design with four replications in hydroponic condition. Different agronomic and physiol...

Effects of salt stress on growth rate and ion content of 17 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars grown in a hydroculture media under normal (0 ds/m) and salt stress (8 ds/m) conditions were examined during a period of 14 days in an experiment conducted at the greenhouse of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. Cultivars of Shiraz and Gascogen showed the highest and lowest root growth rat...
