“…A study on the effects of water stress and salinity on plants reported that mobility of K is reduced under conditions of water deficit (Hu and Schmidhalter 2005;Hafsi et al 2007). Osuagwu et al (2010) reported that water stress decreased levels of K and Ca in leaves of the Ocimum gratissimum plant, which may have been caused by movement of these elements from leaves to roots as these two elements act as osmotic protectors. An important role of Ca ions in plants is functioning as a secondary messenger and as such, these ions are involved in a wide variety of signal transduction pathways, so it may be an important component of plant response to water deficit stress (Hafsi et al 2007).…”

“…The cause of decreased K under water stress, is decreased its solubility that subsequently reduced its absorption by plant roots. However, colloids in the soil strongly absorb K and prevent its absorption by the root (Osuagwu et al 2010). Due to the suitable physical and chemical properties of vermicompost fertilizer, the use of this fertilizer led to an increase in K and Ca absorption by the roots.…”

The field experiment on Stevia rebaudiana (SR), (Family: Asteraceae) was carried out in acid soil zone of Shimoga (Karnataka) in the year 2009 and 2010 to investigate the influence of biofertilizers on protein, moisture and ash content in the dried Stevia leaf and their correlation with swelling property, water absorption capacity and mineral element contents. Results revealed that second harvested sample (August) in first year (2009) was better for all aspects than other harvested samples and the results showed significant increase in protein content (16.22 %), swelling index (SI) (5.10 % w/w), water absorption capacity (WAC) (4.91 ml/g) with the treatment T 8 where three bio fertilizers were applied togetherly with simultaneous moisture content varied from 6.61 to 7.18 %. The significant higher correlations were observed (significant at 1 %) between protein content with SI (r = 0.99), WAC (r = 0.99) and SI with WAC (r = 0.98) in 2009 harvested samples. The ash content was higher in third harvested sample (13.54 %) in the year 2009 with simultaneous increased amount of Fe (6.19 mg/kg), Mn (1.24 mg/kg), Cu (0.72 mg/kg) and Zn (1.22 mg/kg) contents due to the residual effect of bio fertilizers. Nitrogen (0.74 mg/kg), P (0.40 mg/kg) and K (0.68 mg/kg) contents were higher during second harvested samples and thereafter decreased. Total phenolic content was also recorded highest (64.52 mg/g) with three bio fertilizers applied togetherly during year 2009 compared to the year 2010 (50.12 mg/g). The results suggest that the application of bio-fertilizers either single or more numbers in a balanced way may be beneficial in improving protein, phenol and mineral contents of stevia plant.

“…Another important reason for water shortage stress on absorption of elements such as K and Ca is reduced mobility of these elements in the soil (Hu andSchmidhalter 2005, Khoshbakht et al 2015). Osuagwu et al (2010) reported that drought stress reduced levels of K and Ca in leaves of Ocimum gratissimum possibly due to movement of these elements from leaves to root, because under these circumstances they act as osmotic protectors. In this study, levels of K and Ca were also significantly decreased under conditions of severe and mild stresses compared with nonstress conditions.…”

Water availability is the main factor limiting crop growth and productivity in dry regions. This study was carried out on bean plants to determine the effect of spraying methanol solution on the photosynthetic characteristics. The main aim of our experiments was to improve plant performance under stress caused by water shortage. Two factors were involved: water deficit stress, such as severe stress (25% of field capacity), mild stress (75% of field capacity), and no stress (100% of field capacity) and application of methanol solution spray at four concentrations: control (without spraying), 10, 20, and 30%. Methanol was applied three times at different growth stages (seedling, flowering, and podding stage) in 10-d intervals. The treatment with 20% methanol at the seedling stage resulted in increased net photosynthesis (P N ), intercellular CO 2 concentration (C i ), and decreased transpiration rate (E) under nonstress and mild stress conditions. Under severe stress, 10 and 20%-methanol treatments resulted in increased C i , maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, and decreased E. At the flowering stage, methanol treatments resulted in decreased E and increased C i under mild and severe stress. At the podding stage, 10 and 20%-methanol treatments resulted in increased P N , C i , and total chlorophyll content under mild stress. In conclusion, we suggested that foliar application of methanol had a positive role in enhancing photosynthetic performance.
