Background: Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting plant production in arid and semi-arid regions. It causes reduction of cultivable area and combined with other factors, presents a serious threat to food stability in these areas. Context: In front of this problem, the selection of salt tolerant species and varieties remains the best economic approach for exploitation and rehab...

a major problem of arid and semi-arid regions is environmental stresses like salinity and drought. to study the effect of artichoke germination under different levels of salinity and drought, two separate experiments were performed. the experimental treatments included different salinity levels of nacl (0, 50, 100, 150 mm) and five drought levels by peg (0, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) with three rep...

plants and soil microbes are the main sources of most enzymes available in the environment. it is, therefore, anticipated that any change in the growth of soil biota in response to salinity, may reduce the synthesis and production of extra- and intra- cellular enzymes. as a result, a reduction in the growth of plants and the activity of soil microbes in saline environments may lessen the level ...

both soil and water salinity is one of the main reasons in decreasing germination, seedling growth and establishment in many arid and semiarid parts of world especially in our country. for this reason in order to evaluate the effect of lentil seed size on germination and seedling growth properties that was under effect of salinity stress, a completely randomized design with factorial arrangemen...

To study the effect of Artichoke germination under different levels of salinity and drought, two separate experiments were performed.
