The current scanty knowledge about the physiological mechanisms underlying plants' ability to tolerate salt stress that hinders potential production of numerous crops, including mustard. To explore the traits and mechanism for salt tolerance in mustard, we used 250 stabilized F7:8 recombinant...

There are gaps in our comprehension about irrigation water salinity tolerance and the complex mechanisms involved especially in pomegranate. Therefore, the current study was conducted with six commercial cultivars (Jalore seedless, Mridula, Bhagwa, Phule Arakata, Ganesh-137 and Wonderful) under...

Abscisic acid (ABA), stress, and ripening-induced proteins (ASR), which belong to the ABA/WDS domain superfamily, are involved in the plant response to abiotic stresses. Haloxylon ammodendron is a succulent xerohalophyte species that exhibits strong resistance to abiotic stress. In this study, we...

In order to determine the suitable salinity of brackish water drip irrigation and provide a theoretical basis for guiding the drip irrigation system of brackish water for different grape varieties, a drip irrigation experiment with brackish water for grape production in greenhouse was carried out...

The knowledge of water consumption and the efficiency of water use by crops is extremely important in the elaboration of agronomic and hydraulic projects of hydroponic systems. Thus, the present study determined the water consumption and water use efficiency of 'Biquinho' pepper cultivated in the...

In the hyper-arid United Arab Emirates (UAE) irrigation is needed for food crops because there is limited rainfall of less than100 mm y^-1 in the crop-growing parts of the UAE. Groundwater is the main source of irrigation water, yet it is a declining resource both in terms of quantity, and quality...

The high concentration of salts in water sources in the semi-arid region of the Brazilian Northeast stands out as one of the limiting factors for the expansion of irrigated cultivation of fruit crops. Thus, the search for a strategy capable of mitigating the effect of saline stress on plants is of...

Abiotic stresses are one of the major reasons for low crop productivity owing to the disturbances caused by them. Polyamines can be applied to mitigate the harmful effects of stress in plants. Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) is an ornamental, medicinal, and edible plant that is found in many...

A field experiment was conducted in Fallujah district /Anbar governorate in loamy sand soil during the autumn season 2021. To study the foliar application effect of nano and conventional zinc fertilizer and water stress on the growth and yield of broccoli, Zinc fertilizers were applied at three...

Salt stress caused by excess salts present in irrigation water, is one of the biggest barriers in agricultural production, especially in semi-arid regions. Thus, the use of substances, such as salicylic acid, that minimize the deleterious effects of salinity on plants can be an alternative to...
