Feeding 9 billion by 2050 is one of major challenges for researchers. Use of diversified
crops, nonconventional water resources and rehabilitation of marginal lands are alternate …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the main crops cultivated all over the world. As for
other cereals, throughout the centuries barley was subjected by human breeding to genetic …

Earlier we reported that seed pre-treatment with PHF promoted early seedling growth and
salinity tolerance in wheat. As a way forward, experiments were conducted to investigate …

Adaptability to salinity varies between different varieties of date palm trees. This research
aims to explore the long-term impact of different salinity irrigation levels on the mineral …

Freshwater scarcity and other abiotic factors, such as climate and soil salinity in the Near
East and North Africa (NENA) region, are affecting crop production. Therefore, farmers are …

The interaction between salinity and nitrogen metabolism has been investigated in two
barley landraces, one tolerant (“100/1B”) and one susceptible to salinity (“Barley medenine”) …

In this work, the involvement of heat shock proteins (HSP70) in barley (Hordeum vulgare)
has been studied in response to drought and salinity. Thus, 3 barley genotypes usually …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) exhibits great adaptability to salt tolerance in marginal
environments because of its great genetic diversity. Differences in main biochemical …

Introduction In the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region, crop production is being
affected by various abiotic factors, including freshwater scarcity, climate, and soil salinity. As …

Plants encounter several abiotic stresses which are the major constraints to plant growth
and productivity, causing extensive crop losses linked to food security across the world. Soil …
