The use of biostimulants as a key to sustainable hydroponic lettuce farming under saline water stress.

Backround: The utilization of high-quality water in agriculture is increasingly constrained by climate change, affecting availability, quality, and distribution due to altered precipitation patterns, increased evaporation, extreme weather events, and rising salinity levels. Salinity significantly challenges salt-sensitive vegetables like lettuce, particularly in a greenhouse. Hydroponics water quality ensures nutrient solution stability, enhances nutrient uptake, prevents contamination, regulates pH and electrical conductivity, and maintains system components.

Selection of salt tolerant lines at cell level using gamma ray with callus and suspension culture techniques in black carrots (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.).

The main objective was to select salt tolerant lines at the cell level of Hatay region's black carrot (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus var.

The defensive role of silicon in wheat against stress conditions induced by drought, salinity or cadmium.

In the crust of earth, silicon (Si) is one of the two major elements. For plant growth and development, importance of Si remains controversial due to the widely differences in ability of plants to take up this element. In this paper, pot experiments were done to study Si roles in improving salt, drought or cadmium (Cd) stress tolerance in wheat.

Physiological responses of the M sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop) plants to gamma radiation.

Effects of gamma radiation on physiological responses of the M sainfoin plants were investigated. Seeds of sainfoin ecotype 'Koçaş' were exposed to 0, 400, 500 and 600Gy from a Co source at a dose rate of 0.483 kGyh.

Citrulline is an important biochemical indicator in tolerance to saline and drought stresses in melon.

Salt- and drought-induced alterations in citrulline were assessed in 4 local melon genotypes, 2 sensitive (CU-52, CU-94) and 2 tolerant (CU-196, CU-280), grown in vermiculite in a growth chamber. Salt and drought stresses were started using 30-day-old plants, with 250 mM NaCl and 45 mM PEG (-1.0 MPa) and continued for 12 days.
