Arsenic (As) contamination is an important environmental consequence in some parts of salinity-affected South (S) and South-East (SE) Asia. In this study, we investigated the individual and combined phytotoxicity of arsenic (As) [arsenate; As(V)] and salinity (NaCl) on early seedling growth (ESG) of saline-tolerant and non-tolerant rice varieties. Germination percentage (GP), germination speed ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: dry weight (dw) is an important concept related to patients undergoing hemodialysis. conventional method seems to be time consuming and operator dependent. bio impedance analysis (bia) is a new and simple method reported to be an accurate way for estimating dw. in this study, we aimed to compare the conventional estimation of dw with mea...

abstract coontail (ceratophyllum demersum) and watermilfoil (myriophyllum spicatum) are current submersed weeds in many fresh waters of iran. the excessive growth of these plants causes the reduction in utilization of water resources and making some ecological and economical damages in these areas. the aim of this study was to determine the response of two submerged aquatic weeds of coontail an...

introduction legumes are the most important source of vegetable protein supply. mungbean (vigna radiate (l.) wilczek) produces seeds contain 22-25 percent protein and high nutritional value for human and also is a major source of protein in most modern societies. rapid seed germination and emergency, is an important factor determining the ultimate yield of the plant. salinity is the most import...

in order to study the response of coriander medicinal plant to salt stress, two experiments were conducted for germination and vegetative stages. this study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments were salinity at five concentrations including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm nacl. response of coriander seeds germination in...

crisis due to global warming and its associated damaging consequences, including salinity, it is essential to develop plant resistance to salinity level. in this study, an experiment was conducted using different levels of salinity (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2% sodium chloride) had on rosa hybrida, as the most important cut flowers in the world. results showed that by increasing of salinity, sodium...

Unsatisfactory control of blood pressure (BP) leading to an increased rate of cardiovascular events is the main cause of mortality in haemodialysis. BP control has deteriorated since haemodialysis session times have been reduced. Inadequate BP control most often is due to a failure to achieve and maintain dry weight. Dry weight and normotension have been gradually omitted in the goals of dialys...

The experiment was performed to study the seed germination and seedling growth in wheat under the influence of different concentrations of copper. The germination %, plumule and radicle length, and number of lateral roots decreased with increase in copper concentration (5, 25, 50 and 100 mgl(-1)). Total chlorophyll contents declined on 14th day from 1.605 of control to 1.581, 1.242, 1.275 and 1...

Sodium and fluid retention in dialysis patients is associated with hypertension and vascular changes that may ultimately lead to serious cardiovascular complications. Achieving and maintaining dry weight appears to be an effective but forgotten strategy in controlling and maintaining normal blood pressure among hypertensive patients on dialysis. A crucial question is how to determine 'dry weigh...
