Physiological and molecular responses for long term salinity stress in common fig ( L.).

Unlabelled: Salinity stress in increasingly becoming a major challenge in current and expanding agricultural ecosystems. Unlike temporal abiotic stresses, plants are usually exposed to salinity stress for an entire lifespan. Therefore, a long term effect (10 weeks) of continuous salinity exposure was investigated for three common fig landraces (Zraki, Mwazi, and Khdari).
