Background: Salinity tolerance of Ficus carica L. is still poorly quantified. Objectives: We subjected container-grown fig plants (cv. 'Dottato') to salt stress to determine survival, growth, biomass distribution, leaf gas exchange, and water relations. Methods: In a typical experiment plants were...

Water is a limiting factor for plant development. Therefore, understanding plant-water relations is vital for food security and ecosystem conservation. The stable isotopes of water (δ2H and δ18O) are widely used to study ecohydrological processes, such as root water uptake. However, obtaining water ...

The closely related species present in the subgenera of Urostigma are challenging to classify due to the existence of overlapping morphological characteristics, which makes identification habitually problematic. It is still unresolved whether the species of the Ficus virens complex, which includes ...

Due to the scarcity of water resources, low quality of available water, and drought occurrence, farmer's tendency to rain-fed farming is increased. In this study, the effect of supplemental irrigation (SI) timing in different months (Rain-fed, March, May, August, March + May) and potassium (K)...

To investigate the effects of fig rootstocks on scion water and nutrient content under drought stress conditions, 'Sabz' cultivar was budded onto rootstocks of 'Siah', 'Shah Anjir', 'Dehdez', 'Matti' and 'Tousorkh'. Stem water potential (Ψstem), relative water content (RWC), stomatal conductance (g...
