salinity problem is continuously increasing in the arid and semi-arid regions of iran. to effectively utilize germplasm resources in breeding, it is necessary to characterize and evaluate genotypes for the desirable traits and as well for salinity tolerance. salinity tolerance of 80 wheat landraces from different parts of iran was studied in two steps. at first, the degree of salnity tolerance ...

a study of physiological responses of different wheat cultivars to saline conditions can lead to an identification of the main mechanisms in salt tolerance. seven bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance with varying ability of sodium accumulation in their different tissues were employed to assess ion distribution and sodium accumulation under saline conditions. ion distribution and na...

Soil salinity and water deficit are major problems for development of agricultural production. In this study, effects of growth promoting microorganisms (inoculation with Piriformospora indica and two isolates of Streptomyces sp.) on the leaf yield and absorption rate of some elements in leaves and roots of stevia plant was investigated under salinity conditions for two consecutive years (2016-...

dry land salinity is one of the major problems affecting agricultural products. the main consequences of plant exposure to salt stress are water deficit and ion excess, which lead to several morphological and physiological changes. in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on some physiological characteristics of 8 spring rapeseed cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the greenhouse at ya...

in most semiarid and arid areas, fresh water shortage compels managers to use low quality water sources with high salinity to irrigate turf and landscape. recent research has noticed that management of nitrogen fertilization can alleviate salinity effects on plants. this greenhouse sand culture experiment was conducted in order to investigate morphological and physiological responses to salinit...

  In a three-year (2004-2006), field experiment, we aimed to study changes in leaf physiological traits (leaf water potential-Ψleaf, leaf water content-LWC, carbon isotope discrimination-Δ, specific leaf area-SLA, chlorophyll content as assessed by SPAD and modified SPAD-MSPAD) and elemental composition (K, Na, Ca, Mg, K/Na, Ca/Mg, total leaf salinity-TLS) of sugar beets (cv. Rizor) grown unde...

a greengouse experiment was conducted to evaluation of salinity stress on growth parameters of two olive cultivars during 2013-2014 at agricultural and natural resources research center of tehran. in the experiment, effects of five levels of irrigation water salinity including 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 ds.m-1 were evaluated on ʻzardʼ and ʻmissionʼ olive cultivars under soilless culture. data showed th...
