the distribution and abundance of high aquatic plants in the gorganroud river was examined at five stations in four seasons (20 samples) over one year period during 2009-2010. we identified 21 species of aquatic plants from 21 genera, belonging to 9 families. these species were determined as 3 halophytic species (14.2%) and 18 high aquatic plants (85.7%).the highest species diversity was observ...

The DUF1644 family is a highly conserved and functionally unknown protein it has been demonstrated that significantly improved the salt tolerance of rice (non-halophytes). However, little understood about function gene in halophytes. This study aimed to investigate whether similar non-halophytes as halophytic species. functions ZmDUF1644 transferred from Zoysia matrella into non-halophytic Arab...

Nitraria schoberi L. (Nitrariaceae) is a halophytic plant with continuous range in Central Asia and only two populations the westernmost distribution limit of species, Romania. Currently, there no documented explanation for species’ presence Europe, outside main area. Considering that marginal genetics are important establishing limits species adaptative potential, genetic diversity was assesse...

Abstract Salicornia europaea L. is a common halophytic plant species distributed in many saline soils and habitats, including margins of many wetlands. Salicornia europaea grows around Mighan Wetland, a natural desert ecosystem in central Iran with fluctuating water levels due to constant heat and severe wind throughout the year. Although, aspects of biology and ecology of halophytes growi...

In the present study, a new species of genus, Tripleurospermum eskilensis (Asteraceae), is described from Central Anatolia, Turkey. The has been collected Eskil region in restricted area (Aksaray Province). It grows salty steppe, and closely related to T. decipiens terms morphological characteristics. also morphologically compared with discoid disciform capitulated This study includes its detai...

Avicennia marina is a widely distributed mangrove species that thrives in high-salinity habitats. It plays a significant role in supporting coastal ecosystem and holds unique potential for studying molecular mechanisms underlying ecological adaptation. Despite and sometimes because of its numerous merits, this species is facing increasing pressure of exploitation and deforestation. Both study o...

Abstract Watershed rangelands in Northern Afghanistan provide various ecosystem services that support the local people’s livelihoods, but they are now highly degraded essentially due to continuous high grazing pressure and recurrent droughts. Effects of shrub establishment method enhanced by water harvesting techniques rehabilitate have not been well addressed. The main goal this study was eval...
