Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. Is highly recognized for its invasive character and detrimental effects on different plant species across the world. In this study, a field survey was performed to assess impact of P. surrounding native plants, followed by effect concentrations aqueous leaf extract seed germination seedling growth selected Qatari flora. Our observations indicated high prevalence new...

five species of dominant halophyte plants including: salsola griffithii, chenopodium album, aeluropus logopoidies, alopecurus textillis and cardaria draba were sampled from sistan region at their late vegetative stage. the collected samples were dried at room temperature and ground, and their chemical components including: dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, crude fat, as well as ce...

The purpose of this study was to examine the evaluating the potential of seed priming techniques in improving germination and early seedling growth of Aeluropus Macrostachys under salinity stress condition. This study was performed at the Islamic Azad University in Baft city which is located in southeast of kerman province (2250 meters above the sea level, 92º 17 N latitude and 56º 36 E longitu...

lignin is one of the major characteristics of plant secondary cell wall that provides structural rigidity for the cells and tissues and hydrophobicity to tracheary elements. internode tissues of aeluropus littoralis as a halophyte grass were sampled at different developmental stages (from the first to the fifth internodes ) and under different nacl concentrations. the influences of nacl and int...

We evaluated the yields of Oryza sativa L. 'Nipponbare' rice lines expressing a gene encoding an A20/AN1 domain stress-associated protein, AlSAP, from the halophyte grass Aeluropus littoralis under the control of different promoters. Three independent field trials were conducted, with drought imposed at the reproductive stage. In all trials, the two transgenic lines, RN5 and RN6, consistently o...

Aeluropus littoralis is a monocot halophyte grass and provide valuable genetic resources for understanding the molecular mechanisms of stress-responsive genes, and improving tolerance to abiotic stresses in economically important crops. In an attempt to identify salt stressed responsive genes, 154 isolated expressed sequence tags (EST) from A. littoralis were bioinformatically analyzed and func...
