Biochar (BC) has been reported to improve growth and drought resistance in many plants. However, adequate information on the mechanism mediated of BC Phragmites karka, a bioenergy plant, is not available. The impact addition (0%, 0.75% 2.5%) plant physiology P. karka under was assessed. Soil water-holding capacity soil water content were significantly improved with as compared un-amended controls. This resulted performance conditions. An increase parameters, such fresh dry biomass, root...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the ability of Piriformospora indica colonize root Chenopodium quinoa and verify whether this endosymbiont can improve growth, performance drought resistance species. The delivered, for first time, evidence successful colonization P. in quinoa. Hence, pot experiment was conducted greenhouse, where inoculated non‐inoculated plants were subjected ample (40%–50% WHC ) deficit (15%–20% irrigation treatments. Drought adversely influenced plant leading decline...
Increasing human population demands more fuel supply causing the release of hazardous greenhouse gases that could be compensated by supplementing with renewable and environment-friendly alternatives such as biofuels. The argument against use food crops for biofuel production it may cause shortages can countered using feedstock outside chain. This opens up possibility halophytes, algae photosynthetic bacteria sources carbon neutral which produced sustainably without compromising conventional...
Plant photosynthesis and biomass production are closely associated traits but critical to unfavorable environmental constraints such as salinity drought. The relationships among stress tolerance, photosynthetic mechanisms, ethanol yield were assessed in Phragmites karka. growth parameters, leaf gas exchange chlorophyll fluorescence of P. karka studied when irrigated with the control 100 300 mM NaCl a nutrient solution water deficit conditions (drought, at 50% holding capacity). plant shoot...
Abstract The study aims at correlations between ultrastructure of rhizodermal membranes and ATPase activities two gramineous C 4 ‐species effected by salinization the growth medium. Comparative investigations were done with drought‐resistant Sorghum drought‐sensitive, salt tolerant Spartina plants grown under steady‐state conditions without or 40 mol m −3 NaCl. Both species sustained this treatment showed marked influences on but not root respiration. Generally, intramembraneous particle...
Biochar produced from argan shells can be contaminated by toxic substances accumulated during the pyrolysis process. To determine potential impact of and salt stress, this study focused on effect shell biochar had germination salad (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4% or 8% dry weight in a sand-biochar mixture) barley seeds 2.5%, 5% 10% peat-biochar mixture). No negative stress was observed nor rate fresh seedlings. Additionally, application increased biomass all treatments. significant difference control...
Degraded land area is increasing in many arid and semi countries (UNEP, 2010). Additionally, fresh water resources are becoming limited routine irrigation practices conventional agriculture causing a steady increase soil salinity. This will lead to further desertification of affected areas the future with concomitant reduction yield crops known for human animal consumption. Consequently it has become imperative search suitable alternatives develop ecologically sustainable economically sound...
Abstract: Semi‐leafless varieties of pea have considerable agronomic importance and it has been suggested that they may a superior response to water deficits than conventional varieties. However, these are poorly characterized from physiological point view there is lack basis for their supposed better performance under conditions deficit. Here, we describe the solute distribution in different leaf structures semi‐leafless variety ( Pisum sativum L.) non‐limiting stress. A was subjected same...
T HREE SWEETPOTATO cultivars, Abees, Mogamba and Santo Amaro, were subjected to moderate (-0.5MPa) severe drought stress or salt treatments up 200mM NaCl, respectively.Patterns of leaf polyamine contents analyzed verify whether these metabolites could be used as early traits tolerance.Physiological parameters like relative water content, total chlorophyll electron conductance, stomata resistance transpiration rate indicate conditions the plants growth applied identify level tolerance among...
Over two-thirds of Morocco can be classified as semiarid, arid and desert with low variable rainfalls. While the country is subject to frequent drought, groundwater resources are predominantly consume by irrigated agriculture leading depletion water degradation soil quality. Application bio-resources wastes soils after pyrolysis process well documented help retain nutrients in soils. In this study, three derived from argan shells, wood chip, a blend paper sludge wheat husks characterized for...
Stresses in plants caused by salt, drought, temperature, radical oxygen species, and toxic substances such as heavy metals are the major reasons for reduction crop yield. For example, around 1000 million ha of land is affected soil salinity. It can be calculated from FAO reports that current irrigation practices lead to annual losses about 1.6 arable just due salting.This destruction farmland stands contradistinction demand food. The world population predicted reach nine billion people year...
Biochar is attracting recently growing interest for its potential use as a carbon sequestration agent and soil amendment improved agricultural productivity.Thus converting biomass wastes into biochar may be considered tool waste disposal recycling option.However many of the previous results are highly variable dependent mainly on initial properties characteristics.In addition, applied to soils should free toxic substances before any future large-scale application.In this study, two biochars:...
Con base en imágenes de microscopía electrónica barrido tridimensional (SEM) alta resolución Paravandellia phaneronema (Miles 1943), especie ictioparásito endémica Colombia, se describieron y analizaron las estructuras morfológicas superficiales desarrolladas su proceso evolutivo adaptación a la forma vida hematófaga. La atención enfocó los aspectos emergentes función estas adaptaciones mecanismos que estos parásitos subfamilia Vandellinae han utilizado para localizar con precisión pez...
