this experiment was carried out to study the effect of sodium chloride from drinking water and feed intake on the quality of egs from laying hens. four hundred and twenty native and white leghorn laying hens ranging from 36 to 43 weeks of age were used. seven experimental treatments containing different levels of salt supplied by feed and/or drinking water were compared. increasing salt int...

We have previously demonstrated that salt tolerance in cowpea could be associated with lesser impairments of the photosynthetic capacity. Taking into account that photosynthesis is themain sink for reducing power consumption, our central working hypothesis is that a salt-sensitive cultivar is more prone to suffer from oxidative stress. We analyzed the long-term effects of salt stress on oxidati...

In this work, differential protein expression in olive tissues after salt treatments has been investigated. Olive clones selected in vitro according to their salt tolerance were submitted, also in vitro, to high salt concentrations. After each treatment, the leaves and stems were collected and protein extracts of them subjected to polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis to analyse their band pattern...

Various salt solutions used to hydrate full-fat cracked soybeans affected the thermal stability of both f)-conglycinin (75) and glycinin (115) storage proteins when examined by differential scanning calorimetry used to monitor both denaturation temperature (Td) and enthalpy (LiH). As salt ionic strength (fL) increased, the moisture in the hydrated beans decreased. When beans were hydrated with ...

This study was carried out to study the possibility of salt tolerance induction in two cultivars of sorghum by exogenous application of different levels (0, 50 mM and 100 mM) of proline. Salt treatments (100 mM) adversely affected the germination percentage, growth and chlorophyll contents of both cultivars. However, applications of proline alleviated the adverse effects of salt stress. However...

The leaf growth and cross-sectional area of durum wheat during its development may be reduced under salt stress due to vascular architecture alterations of leaves. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to compare growth rate and vascular architecture changes of two durum wheat cultivars including Shabrang and Yavaroos under 0 and 100 mM NaCl. Plants were sampled at the three-leaf stage growth. ...
