Carbon Assimilation, Isotope Discrimination, Proline and Lipid Peroxidation Contribution to Barley () Salinity Tolerance.

Barley ( L.) exhibits great adaptability to salt tolerance in marginal environments because of its great genetic diversity. Differences in main biochemical, physiological, and molecular processes, which could explain the different tolerance to soil salinity of 16 barley varieties, were examined during a two-year field experiment.

Nutritional Value, Chemical Composition and Cytotoxic Properties of Common Purslane ( L.) in Relation to Harvesting Stage and Plant Part.

Purslane ( L.) is a widespread weed, which is highly appreciated for its high nutritional value with particular reference to the content in omega-3 fatty acids. In the present study, the nutritional value and chemical composition of purslane plants in relation to plant part and harvesting stage were evaluated.

Comparison of neem or oregano with thiram on organic matter decomposition of a sand loam soil amended with compost, and on soil biological activity.

Background: Oregano essential oil and neem have been reported to be effective against soil-borne pathogens and nematodes. The possibility of having an effect on soil properties was the aim of this investigation. Moreover, thiram, a common widely used chemical pesticide, was used for comparison.
