The Effect of Salinity on Gas Exchange on Different Developmental Stages of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)

Differential responses of growth, chlorophyll content, lipid peroxidation and accumulation of compatible solutes to salt stress in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars

“…Vanda (Figure 2) leaves, which is in accordance with Taffouo et al (2010a;b), and Giannakoula et al (2012). This effect of salt was attributed to a salt-induced weakening of protein-pigmentlipid complex (Strogonov et al, 1970) or increased chlorophyllase enzyme activity (Stivesev et al, 1973). By contrast, the CHL content was substantially increased in Fleur 11 and PC 79-79 with increasing NaCl concentrations.…”

“…The selection of tolerant cultivars can be done efficiently in cultivated saline environments, and thus salt tolerance mechanisms potential can be identified within plant species which is becoming an increasing research priority in many countries. It is important to make a call to the ecophysiological approach which can constitute an attenuation of the effect of the soil's salinity on the cultivated plant performances (Mekhaldi et al, 2008). This would lead to the search of tolerant species or varieties of plant thus imposing a mastery of the knowledge of mechanisms to their adaptation to salinity.…”

Effect of Salinity on Germination and Root Growth of Jordanian Barley

“…The salt stress has become an important problem regarding the agricultural production in many regions of the world [Shrivastava & Kumar, 2014]. It is estimated that more than 60 million hectares of irrigated land, representing some 25% of the total irrigated land, have been damaged by the salt stress [Mekhaldi et al, 2008]. The salt stress causes a great reduction in the plant growth and biomass production of cereal plants such as barley, wheat and rice [Flowers and Yeo 1995].…”

The impact of drought stress on photosynthetic quantum yield in Haloxylon aphyllum and Haloxylon persicum

“…Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses in the arid and semi-arid regions that cause a wide variety of physiological and biochemical changes that inhibit plant growth and development from germination to productivity and disturb photosynthesis (Mekhaldi et al, 2008;Misra et al, 2002). Photosynthesis is the most important process in biological system defining the limits of biomass production (Sofi et al, 2006), and is the main physiological parameter in drought stress process that is affected by drought (Arabzadeh, 2009;Satisha et al, 2007;Misra et al, 2002).…”
