Arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutualistic association between fungi and higher plants, and play a critical role in nutrient cycling and stress tolerance. However, much less is known about the mycorrhiza-mediated enhancement in growth and salinity tolerance of the peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) growing in the arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, mycorrhizal status of Glomus mosseae in diverse salini...

vetiver grass (vetiveria zizanioides) is known to be survived under the diversesoil and water conditions. in order to study the effects of salinity stress on the seedlinggrowth of the desired species, a completely randomized design was conducted with 3replications. seeds were sown in the salty-soil plots in the greenhouse. salinity levels werespecified as 4 control ones including 20, 30 and 40 ...

Drought and salinity are the major factors that limit chickpea production worldwide. We performed whole transcriptome analyses of chickpea genotypes to investigate the molecular basis of drought and salinity stress response/adaptation. Phenotypic analyses confirmed the contrasting responses of the chickpea genotypes to drought or salinity stress. RNA-seq of the roots of drought and salinity rel...

Soil salinity and alkalinity adversely affects the productivity and grain quality of rice. The grain quality of 19 rice genotypes characterized as salt tolerant (T), semi-tolerant (ST) and sensitive (S) was assessed in lysimeters containing saline and highly alkaline soils. Head rice recovery was reduced by salinity stress whereas it was not affected by alkalinity stress. The ratio of length to...

this study investigated the influence of inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (amf), glomus mosseae (nicol & gerd.) on growth and antioxidant enzyme activities (sod, cat, gupx) in shoots and roots of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) affected by three different levels of salt stress. the experiment was arranged as a factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replicat...

Rice seedlings cv. Khao Dawk Mali 105 (salt-sensitive), Luang Anan (moderately salt-tolerant) and Pokkali (salt-tolerant) were exposed to 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCI for 9 d. Salinity stress caused reduction in leaf relative water contents in all cultivars. Shoot length of cv. Pokkali was least affected by salinity stress whereas increased root length in response to salinity stress was apparent ...

Salinity in soil and irrigation water is one of the major factors that limit crop productivity. The effects of salinity on growth, lipid peroxidation, the antioxidant defence system and changes in artemisinin content were studied in Artemisia annua L. Salinity treatments were established by adding 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM of sodium chloride (NaCl) to the soil. Salt stress negatively affected ...

to study the effect of salinity stress on seed germination and seedling growth of four medicinal plants, nigella sativa l., cannabis sativa l., trigonella foenum graecum and cynara scolymus l. an experiment was conducted in the botany laboratory of islamic azad university, birjand branch. a completely randomized design (crd) with 3 replications was used as separately for each species. treatment...

Expression patterns of four candidate AREB/ABF genes and four DREB/CBF genes were evaluated in leaf and root tissues of five grape varieties ('Qalati', 'Kaj Angoor', 'Sabz Angoor', 'Siahe Zarghan', 'Bidane Safid') with differential response to drought stress. Among the AREB/ABF genes, AREB1 and ABF2 showed up-regulation in response to drought stress in leaf and root tissues of all varieties whi...
