Seed priming is known to often alleviate salinity stress during seed emergence and subsequent crop growth. This study compares the effects of salinity stress on the germination and emergence of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ...

Knowledge of plant response to salinity, especially at early growth stages, is critical to optimizing crop production in salt-affected soils. In this paper we explore quantitatively the effectiveness of seed pre-treatment ...

Context. Salinity is a major cause of yield loss in wheat globally. Aims and Methods. To investigate the potential of silicon to minimise the effect of salinity in wheat, experiments were conducted using outdoor pots ...

Tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth and D.R. Dewey) is an important, highly salt-tolerant C3 forage grass. The objective of this work was to learn about the ecophysiological responses of accessions from ...

Plants adapt to drought and salinity integrating developmental and growth responses environmentally activated. Phytohormones tightly control the adaptive processes and coordinate the cellular responses to drought and ...

The occurrence and characteristics of ouabain-insensitive Na+ ATPase activity and the response to environmental salinity of the coexistent Na+-K+ ATPase and ouabain-insensitive Na+ ATPase activities were studied in chela ...

Saline and alkaline stresses affect more than 10% of the World’s arable land, limiting agricultural production. Salt-induced stress may affect the photosystem II (PSII) function, altering fluorescence emission. Therefore, ...

Spartina densiflora is a halophytic grass present in many salt marsh ecosystems where it dominates throughout topographical stress-gradients. This work aimed at studying diversities and similarities in ecophysiological ...
