Phytoremediation potential of some halophytic species for soil salinity.

Phytoremediation potential of six halophytic species i.e. Suaeda nudiflora, Suaeda fruticosa, Portulaca oleracea, Atriplex lentiformis, Parkinsonia aculeata and Xanthium strumarium was assessed under screen house conditions.

Genotypic differences in water status, membrane integrity, ionic content, N2-fixing efficiency and dry matter of mungbean nodules under saline irrigation.

A pot experiment was conducted under natural conditions of screen house to evaluate the effect of saline irrigation given at flowering stage (30-35 DAS) on nodule functioning and their tolerance in two mungbean genotypes viz. Asha and Muskan based on various physiological traits. The pots containing sandy soil (Typic Torrispamments) were saturated with Cl-dominated saline irrigation to maintain ECe of 2.

Plant water status, ethylene evolution, N(2)-fixing efficiency, antioxidant activity and lipid peroxidation in Cicer arietinum L. nodules as affected by short-term salinization and desalinization.

Salinity induced changes in ethylene evolution, antioxidant defense system, N(2)-fixing efficiency and membrane integrity in relation to water and mineral status in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) nodules were studied under screen house conditions. At vegetative stage (55-65 DAS) plants were exposed to single saline irrigation (Cl(-) dominated) of levels 0, 2.
