Our objective was to determine the effect of level and chemical form of dietary selenium on productivity of beef cows, concentrations of triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) in plasma, and immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) in plasma and colostrum of cows. Pregnant cows (n = 60) were randomly allocated among four dietary treatments of 20, 60, or 120 ppm Se as selenite and 60 ppm as selenomethio...

the research focused to evaluate physical, chemical, and sensory properties of raw, blanched, and 2, 4, and 6% osmotically salt treated mandarin (citrus reticulata) peel powder. the yields of mandarin peel powder (mpp) were found in the range of 29.1 to 30.4% (db) for different treatments, which were not significantly different. the bulk density and solubility were found in the range of 1,267-1...

Turfgrass nutrient uptake may be differentially affected by different salts. The objective of this study was to compare nutrient uptake in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) as affected by carbonate, chloride, and sulfate under iso-osmotic, iso-Na+ strength conditions. 'Tar Heel II' and 'Wolfpack' cultivars were subjected to NaCl, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, CaCl2, NaCl+ CaCl2, Na2CO3+ CaCl2, and Na...

to understand the effects of salinity stress on four different growth stages of sorghum, a greenhouse experiment with 10 treatments, considering all possible combinations of salinity stress and salt- free periods was carried out. the four growth stages for stress application included: emergence until growing point differentiation, growing point differentiation until half bloom, half bloom until...

abstract in order to study salt stress, calcium and potassium effects and type of application on sorghum plant, a field experiment was arranged in randomized complete block in split plot design at the research field of center of excellence for special crops, ferdowsi university of mashhad at 2008. experimental treatments were included two levels of salinity (5 and 10 ds.m-1) as main plots and f...

to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza (glomus mosseae) under salt stress on physiological and some nutrient absorption in new guinea impatiens (impatiens hawkeri), an experiment established in complete random design with three replications (three pots for each replication) in greenhouse in shahrekord university in 2014. treatments were inoculation of substrate with three levels of arb...

      Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica Oliv.) is a woody species that is naturally distributed in the desert areas of some parts of Asia and Africa. Because of its outstanding features, it is a model plant to study environmental stress tolerance. This research was conducted from 2014 to 2016 in order to study the relationship between performance indices and ion concentrations. The cuttings ...

Salinity is one of major abiotic stresses limiting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) production in the arid and semi-arid regions in US and other counties. In this study, we used a diverse panel of alfalfa accessions previously described by Zhang et al. (2015) to identify molecular markers associated with salt tolerance during germination using genome-wide association study (GWAS) and genotyping-by-...

The growth and aesthetic value of ornamental plant species used near coastlines are negatively influenced by salt spray. presence surfactants could enhance damage. To analyze the influences spray alone in combination with each other, individual Callistemon plants were subjected to different treatments for 8 weeks: a solution simulating composition seawater (salt spray), containing an anionic su...
