The effect of drought and salinity stress on the seedlings of the somatic hybrid wheat cv. Shanrong No. 3 (SR3) and its parent bread wheat cv. Jinan 177 (JN177) was investigated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Of a set of 93 (root) and 65 (leaf) differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), 34 (root) and six (leaf) DEPs were cultivar-specific. The remaining DEPs wer...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a very important edible oil crop in the world, and the production is inhibited by abiotic stresses, such as salinity. Plant hormones can alleviate the stress by regulating the physiological processes and gene expression. To study the plant responses to salinity in combination with GR24, a synthesized strigolactone, the oilseed rape variety (Zhongshuang 11) replic...

Seed heteromorphism observed in many halophytes is an adaptive phenomenon toward high salinity. However, the relationship between heteromorphic seed germination and germination-related hormones under salt stress remains elusive. To gain an insight into this relationship, the roles of gibberellins (GAs) and abscisic acid (ABA) in regulating germination of Suaeda salsa dimorphic brown and black s...

to evaluate the effect of ascorbate and gibberellin on some morphological traits and relative water content of medicinal plant fenugreek in different levels of salinity, an experiment was carried out in shahr- e - rey branch of islamic azad university in october 2012. the experiment was arranged as factorial experiment in the basis of completely randomized design with four replications. the exp...

abstract little information is available concerning morphological responses of lolium perenne cultivars (numan and speedy green) to salinity and trinexapac-ethyl treatment in initial growth. in order to evaluate the effect of salinity treatment (0, 2000, 4000 and 6000 mg/lit) and trinexapac-ethyl levels (0, 50, 100 gr/ha) on morphological responses of 'numan' and 'speedy green' in initial growt...

abstract cumin (cuminum cyminum) is one of the most important medicinal plants in iranian dry region. in order to study the effects of irrigation times and salinity stress on yield and yield components of cumin, an experiment was conducted at the research farm ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2009. factors including irrigation times (1: one time irrigation, 2: two times irrigation 3: three tim...

seed germination is the most sensitive growth stages of the plant to salinity stress. seeds of many species produce a jelly-like layer called mucilage upon exposure to water. the purpose of this study was to determine the role of mucilage in increasing salinity tolerance of lallemantia ibrica. seeds of this plantcontain mucilage that can be used to treat some diseases such as neurological, live...

Plants often grow under the combined stress of several factors. Salinity and herbivory, separately, can severely hinder plant growth and reproduction, but the combined effects of both factors are still not clearly understood. Salinity is known to reduce plant tissue nitrogen content and growth rates. Since herbivores prefer tissues with high N content, and biochemical pathways leading to resist...

Salinity is a major yield reducing factor in coastal as well as arid irrigated rice production systems. Salt induced abiotic stress is an acute problem, interrupting the metabolic processes of plants, resulting in reduced growth and productivity. Proline is an amino acid which increases in plants under abiotic stress. Salinity stress affects the metabolism of plants leading to severe crop damag...
