theeffect of salt stress on the pysiological and biochemical responses of the seedlings of eight eucalyptus species viz. e. kingsmillii, e. tetragona, e. salubris, e. occidentali, e. microtheca, e. camaldulensis, e. globules and e. sargentii was analyzed. four month-old seedlings grown in greenhouse were watered by five levels of salt solution (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm of nacl) in five replic...

introduction drought stress is the most important growth limiting factor for crop production. sugar accumulation under drought stress strengthens and stabilizes cell membranes and maintains the water absorption and turgid property. under stress conditions, proline will also maintain the turgor pressure and decreased the damages caused to plant membrane. although proline concentrations may have ...

Drought is the cause of adverse environmental impacts on plant growth and crop yield. In this study, the effects of water deficit on plant molecular and physiological responses were investigated using two cultivars (namely, Sardari and Zarin) of bread wheat selected based on the results of a three-year research. For the purposes of this study, they were grown in plastic pots containing field so...

Few studies have investigated the alkali-based salt resistance aspect of plants. Here, we used 2 pumpkin cultivars (‘Cucurbita ficifolia Bouch.’ and ‘Chuandilong’) to study the growth and physiological response mechanisms of pumpkin to different levels of NaHCO3 stress. After second true leaf development, pumpkin seedlings were treated with varying levels of NaHCO3 stress (0, 30, 60 and 90 mmol...

physiological study of wheat varieties under abiotic stress conditions is a very important factor for improving their future productions. this research work was conducted in the research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, tarbiat modarres university in 2006, to study leaf quantitative traits of durum wheat under different levels of carbon dioxide (400 and 900 ppm), ultraviolet radiation (uv ...

abstract for evaluating nacl salinity effect on some physiological and qualitative attributes of five winter canola cultivars, an experiment was conducted in a rcd base factorial in three replicates in greenhouse of east azarbaijan agricultural research center in 2008. five salinity levels as 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mm nacl treated as first factor on five rape seed (fornax, licord, elite, slm04...

drought tolerance of three own-rooted grape cultivars (rashe, ghezil uzum and red sultanina) was evaluated at four different levels of soil moisture contents (40, 60, 80 and 100% field capacity through a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for a duration of 3 months. results revealed that, grape cultivars, levels of soil moisture and the inte...
