Salinity affects normal growth and development of plants depending on their capacity to overcome the induced stress. The present study was focused on the response and regulation of the antioxidant defence system in Brassica oleracea roots under short and long salt treatments. The function and the implications of hydrogen peroxide as a stressor or as a signalling molecule were also studied. Two ...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of refined, solar, and bamboo salt on the physico-chemical properties and sensory characteristics of cured pork loin. Moisture, protein, fat, and ash content, lightness, yellowness, cooking yield, and color, juiciness, and tenderness of sensory properties on curing pork loin exhibited no significant differences regardless of the nature of sa...

Salinity is one of the most important problems that restrict cultivation of crops in arid and semi-arid regions. Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is one of the most important trees that grow in these restricts. In this greenhouse study, the effects of salinity on growth of pistachio rootstock Badami evaluated. Seedlings were grown in plastic bags containing perlite. Salinity was imposed, by adding ...

most plants encounter stress such as drought and salinity that adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. the expression of the gene glutathione-s-transferases (gst) extends throughout various protective mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions. gstf1 (the first phi gstfs class) gene expression patterns in the wheat cultivars mahuti ...

controlled drainage is one of the strategies to reduce negative environmental effects in conventional drainage systems. this study examines the effect of controlled drainage on quality and quantity of drainage water, specifically amounts of salt and nitrate in drainage water, and nitrate uptake by maize (sc 704) with sandy loam soil texture in karaj. the experiment was performed as a randomized...

The effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swelling, flowering and polination) of two wheat cultivars (Ghods : salt-sensitive; Boolani : salt-resistant) on proline concentration and the kinetic activity of proline dehydrogenase was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatment...

Strawberry is considered as a salinity sensitive species and is adversely affected in response to the salt stress in terms of growth and yield. Pot experiments were conducted to determine the effect of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) application on physiology, growth, chlorophyll and mineral content of strawberry grown under salt stress and greenhouse conditions. Strawberry plants were treated wi...
