Abstract Background Drought and heat stress are significant concerns to food security in arid semi-arid regions, where global warming is predicted increase both frequency severity. To cope with these challenges, the use of drought-tolerant plants or technological interventions essential. In this study, effects foliar potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) application on tolerance recovery Myrobalan 29C rootstocks ( Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) were evaluated. These widely recognized for their adaptability...

Rootstocks play an essential role to determining orchard performance of fruit trees. Pyrus communis and Cydonia oblonga are widely used rootstocks for European pear cultivars. The lack adapted different soil conditions grafted cultivars is acknowledged in culture. (clonal) (seedling or clonal) have their advantages disadvantages. In each case, site-specific environmental characteristics, specific cultivar response production objectives must be considered before choosing the best rootstock....

Water stress treatments on some morphological, biomass, physiological, biochemical characteristics and budding success of apricot plum cultivars/Myrobolan 29 C rootstock have been studied in a pot-experiment trial. Three different water levels (control-100 %, medium-75 severe-50 % the pot capacity) were applied. The results showed that measured physiological as well cultivars rootstocks affected by stress. stress, both moderate severe, significantly decreased relative shoot length, diameter...

(1) Background: Silicon (Si) and nitric oxide (NO) have been proven to protect against cellular injury caused by stress conditions, mostly salinity water in agriculture. (2) Methods: The goal was study the effect of soil applications NO, Si, their combination (Si+NO) on response Myrobalan 29C rootstocks (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) subjected well-watered conditions. (3) Results: results showed that decreased growth parameters (i.e., leaf area, shoot dry weight, root fresh relative diameter),...

Many plants confront several environmental stresses including heat, water stress, drought, salinity and high-metal concentrations that are crucial in defining plant productivity at different stages of their life cycle. Nitric oxide (NO) Silicon (Si) very effective molecules related most them varied biochemical events have proven to be protective during cellular injury caused by some stress conditions like stress. In the current work, we studied effect Si NO alone + interactive application on...

ABSTRACT Three vegetative rootstocks of plum (Prunus domestica), Marianna GF 8-1 cerasifera × munsoniana), Myrobolan B (P. Cerasifera) and Pixy Insititia) were grown in pots containing sand irrigated with complete nutrient solution to investigate the effect calcium sulfate supplied on plants under salt stress. Treatments (1) control (C): alone; (2) S (salinity stress): 40 mM NaCl; (3) S+Ca1: NaCl +2.5 (Ca) (4) S+Ca2: + 5 Ca. Calcium was as CaSO4. The mol L−1 produced less dry matter had...

This study was conducted on the 'Santa Maria' pear (Pyrus communis L.) budded various rootstocks [pear seedling and quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) (BA 29, QA QC) rootstocks] under calcareous soil semi-arid conditions during 2004-2012. The results showed that highest cumulative yield per ha (53.1 t ha-1), fruit weight (304.1 g), volume (337.2 cm³), flesh firmness (22.3 lb.) titratable acidity (0.21%) obtained from trees BA 29 rootstock. SSC (15.8 %), tree (78.08 kg tree-1), TCSA (79.03 cm²)...

Strawberry is a salt-sensitive plant adversely affected by slightly or moderately saline conditions. The growth, fruit, and biochemical parameters of strawberry plants grown under NaCl (0, 30, 60, 90 mmol L−1) conditions with without halophytic companion (Portulaca oleracea L.) were elucidated in pot experiment. Salt stress negatively the physiological (stomatal conductance electrolyte leakage), such as chlorophyll contents (chl-a chl-b); proline, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde,...

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) cultivars, Oso Grande and Camarosa were grown in the field from July 1999 to May 2000 order investigate effectiveness of preharvest drip-irrigation management on fruit yield, quality (i.e. soluble dry matter, size), leaf macro-nutrient composition normal growth parameters. All plots irrigated uniformly until 2 weeks before harvest. Differential treatments then imposed ranging a complete cut-off irrigation full through harvest period. Preharvest (i)...

Twelve-year-old apricot trees from the Hacihaliloglu cultivar were pruned in a series of five treatments. In all treatments, one-third annual shoots (33.3%) removed between 1999 and 2003. The chlorophyll a, b, total carotenoid contents leaves determined. starch, sugar, reducing sugar sucrose also addition, seasonal variation carbohydrates was studied. treatments did not affect content leaves, but they statistically affected content. highest 5.27 mg/g, it found post-harvest summer/winter...

The plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh) has been used worldwide both as a genetic source for breeding new rootstocks and clonal rootstock many Prunus species. Considering situations where wild relatives of plums are endangered, in-depth characterization traits diversity germplasm Turkey with ecogeographical locations is crucial. In the present study, therefore, three steps were followed selection candidates among grown in Middle Euphrates. This region characterized by an extremely hot climate warm...
