BACKGROUND AND AIMS Since salinity and drought stress can occur together, an assessment was made of their interacting effects on leaf water relations, osmotic adjustment and net gas exchange in seedlings of the relatively chloride-sensitive Carrizo citrange, Citrus sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata. METHODS Plants were fertilized with nutrient solution with or without additional 100 mm NaCl (sal...

BACKGROUND In emergency research, obtaining informed consent can be problematic. Research to develop and improve treatments for patients admitted to hospital with life-threatening and debilitating conditions is much needed yet the issue of research without consent (RWC) raises concerns about unethical practices and the loss of individual autonomy. Consistent with the policy and practice turn to...

Drought is one of the major threats to cowpea productivity in tropical countries, and understanding its impacts germane ensuring food security a global context. The present study was established screen some accessions for drought tolerance at flowering stage pots under controlled conditions house. High significant differences were observed among wilting recovery traits, stomatal conductance, re...

Use of physiological parameters as fast tools to screen for drought tolerance in sugarcane: Drought is one of the major limitations to plant productivity worldwide. Identifying suitable screening tools and quantifiable traits would facilitate the crop improvement process for drought tolerance. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of four relatively physiological parameters (variable-t...

Salinity is one of the major environmental constraints affecting agriculture in regions world. This study was conducted to evaluate effect exogenous nitric oxide (NO) treatments on two chickpea cultivars (Cagatay and Inci) under salt stress conditions. Different NO doses (0. 75 100 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP)) as an source were applied plants grown saline (presence 50 mM NaCl) nonsaline In th...

The committee on text processing technology of JEIDA (Japan Electronics Industry Development Association) has been developing its bilingual corpus for research on machine translation systems since the 1996 Japanese fiscal year. An overview of this bilingual corpus is presented in this paper. And other linguistic data recently developed in Japan, which includes the RWC text database and the simp...

Jodhpur is the second largest district in state of Rajasthan. With growth population numbers vehicles along with industries have increased which affecting air quality Jodhpur. Plants a very close relationship nature and they act as sink for reducing pollution. Impact pollution on two plants namely Tabernaemontana Sesbania (vegetable humming bird tree) from heavy industrial area si...

We examined the extent of osmotic adjustment and the changes in relative water content (RWC) and transpiration rate (i.e., relative stomatal function) that occur in water-deficit-conditioned 6-year-old Thuja occidentalis L. (eastern white cedar) trees in response to a severe drought. Trees conditioned by successive cycles of mild or moderate nonlethal water stress (conditioning) and nonconditio...

BACKGROUND Salt stress is a major factor limiting plant growth and productivity. Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to ameliorate the adverse effects of environmental stress on plants. To investigate the protective role of SA in ameliorating salt stress on Torreya grandis (T. grandis) trees, a pot experiment was conducted to analyze the biomass, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content...

o investigate the role of selenomethionine (SeMet) in regulating drought tolerance strawberry plants, we explored effects SeMet on antioxidative enzymes, water physiology and fruit quality plants under stress (DS). In this study, used variety ‘Sweet Charlie’ as material investigated through foliar spraying pot experiments. The results showed that DS obviously enhanced activities antioxidant enz...
