Open AccessMorphological, physiological, biochemical, and transcriptome studies reveal the importance of transporters and stress signaling pathways during salinity stress in Prunus
The almond crop has high economic importance on a global scale, but its sensitivity to salinity stress can cause severe yield losses. Salt-tolerant rootstocks are vital for crop economic feasibility under sali...

Open AccessLinking genetic determinants with salinity tolerance and ion relationships in eggplant, tomato and pepper
The Solanaceae family includes commercially important vegetable crops characterized by their relative sensitivity to salinity. Evaluation of 8 eggplant (Solanum melongena), 7 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), and 8 ...

Open AccessTranscriptional profiling of two contrasting genotypes uncovers molecular mechanisms underlying salt tolerance in alfalfa
Alfalfa is an important forage crop that is moderately tolerant to salinity; however, little is known about its salt-tolerance mechanisms. We studied root and leaf transcriptomes of a salt-tolerant (G03) and a...

Physiological, Morphological, Biochemical, and Genetic Responses of Alfalfa to Salinity
Alfalfa is an important forage crop known for its perennial nature, high biomass yield, high nutritive value, and high water demand. Global reduction in the availability of clean water in arid and semiarid reg...

Open AccessLinking diverse salinity responses of 14 almond rootstocks with physiological, biochemical, and genetic determinants
Fourteen commercial almond rootstocks were tested under five types of irrigation waters to understand the genetic, physiological, and biochemical bases of salt-tolerance mechanisms. Treatments included control...

Incorporating field wind data to improve crop evapotranspiration parameterization in heterogeneous regions
Accurate parameterization of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is necessary for optimizing irrigation scheduling and avoiding costs associated with over-irrigation (water expense, loss of water productivity, ene...

Open AccessVariable salinity responses of 12 alfalfa genotypes and comparative expression analyses of salt-response genes
Twelve alfalfa genotypes that were selected for biomass under salinity, differences in Na and Cl concentrations in shoots and K/Na ratio were evaluated in this long-term salinity experiment. The selected plant...

Anthelmintic activity of Artemisia annua L. extracts in vitro and the effect of an aqueous extract and artemisinin in sheep naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes
There is no effective natural alternative control for gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) of small ruminants, with Haemonchus contortus being the most economically important GIN. Despite frequent reports of multidru...

Open AccessEffects of Artemisia annua and Foeniculum vulgare on chickens highly infected with Eimeria tenella (Phylum Apicomplexa)
Intensive poultry production systems depend on chemoprophylaxis with anticoccidial drugs to combat infection. A floor-pen study was conducted to evaluate the anticoccidial effect of Artemisia annua and Foeniculum...

In vitro trematocidal effects of crude alcoholic extracts of Artemisia annua, A. absinthium, Asimina triloba, and Fumaria officinalis
Trematode infections negatively affect human and livestock health, and threaten global food safety. The only approved human anthelmintics for trematodiasis are triclabendazole and praziquantel with no alternat...

Production of Artemisinin from in Vitro Cultures of Artemisia annua L.
Malaria, one of the oldest known diseases, was referred to in Egyptian writings of the 16th century B.C. In the 17th century, Italians believed that breathing bad air (mal aria) arising from swamps was responsibl...

Roots as an enhancing factor for the production of artemisinin in shoot cultures of Artemisia annua
Artemisinin was produced in differentiated shoot cultures of Artemisia annua L. but was undetected in callus or cell cultures. The growth regulators benzyladenine, kinetin, chlormequat, and daminozide, at concent...
