Silicon Mediated Alleviation of Salinity Stress Regulated by Silicon Transporter Genes (Lsi1 and Lsi2) in Indica Rice

Abstract Silicon accumulation is known to improve tolerance of plants under both biotic and abiotic stress. Salinity stress is an inevitable crisis causing wide spread damage to rice leading to food insecurity. The influence of Si (1mM) on two rice cultivars cv. Ghanteswari (high accumulator) and cv.Bada...

Influencia del sustrato en la composición de la ictiofauna en zonas someras de la laguna costera Barra de Navidad, México

Rev. biol. trop; 68 (4), 2020
Introducción: Las lagunas costeras son hábitats importantes para los peces costeros y juegan un rol esencial como áreas de crianza para muchas especies. Mientras que los efectos de la salinidad y la temperatura sobre la abundancia de los peces han sido bien documentados, las investigaciones sobre la i...

Larval fish assemblages in nearshore waters of southeast Gulf of California: vertical and temporal patterns

Neotrop. ichthyol; 18 (1), 2020
The influence of salinity and temperature on larval fish assemblages, as well as, temporal and vertical patterns on larval fish assemblages off the inlet of the Presidio River, southeast coast of the Gulf of California were evaluated. Samplings for ichthyoplankton and environmental parameter measurements...

Growth and fluorescence of ‘Tahiti’ acid lime/rootstock on Sunki mandarin hybrids under salinity

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (4), 2019
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ecophysiological behavior of ‘Tahiti’ acid lime/rootstock grafted on Sunki mandarin hybrids during the prefloration stage of the plants, in the field, under saline stress. The progenies originating from crossings of the ‘Sunki’ mandarin ...

Efecto de la temperatura y salinidad en la eclosión y supervivencia de Aedes aegypti (L) (Diptera: Culicidae) procedentes del occidente de México
Effect of temperature and salinity on the eclosion and survival of Aedes aegypti (L) (Diptera: Culicidae) from Western Mexico

Rev. cuba. med. trop; 71 (2), 2019
Introducción: Aedes aegypti (L) (Diptera: Culicidae), es una especie cosmopolita y vector de arbovirosis. Las variaciones de la temperatura y salinidad del agua influyen en la eclosión y supervivencia de fases larvales. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de diferentes temperaturas y salinidades en la eclosi...

Green onion production under strategies of replacement and frequencies of circulation of brackish nutritive solutions

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (3), 2019
The cultivation of vegetables in semi-arid regions, especially in the context of the use of brackish water, has been made possible by the use of the hydroponics technique. Thus, two experiments were carried out between December 2016 and January 2017 in a protected environment at the Federal ...

Bioprospection of proteases from Halobacillus andaensis for bioactive peptide production from fish muscle protein

BACKGROUND: Biologically active peptides produced from fish wastes are gaining attention because their health benefits. Proteases produced by halophilic microorganisms are considered as a source of active enzymes in high salt systems like fish residues. Hence, the aim of this study was the bioprospection...

Variation of the water table and salinity in alluvial aquifers of underground dams in the semi-arid regio n of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (2), 2019
Despite the growing progress in the construction of underground dams, there are few studies to evaluate and monitor these reservoirs after their construction. Thus, a research study was carried out to evaluate the water table level in alluvial aquifers and water salinity in four underground da...

Effects of salinity on the survival and histology of oysters crassostrea gasar (adanson, 1757)

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (2), 2019
Water salinity is among the most important factors influencing the distribution, abundance, growth, and survival of Crassostrea gasar, an important aquaculture resource grown in estuarine environments in diverse regions of the world. The goal of the present work was to ...

Influence of sediment granulometry and salinity on the composition of an estuarine fish assemblage in the Mexican Tropical Pacific

Rev. biol. trop; 66 (3), 2018
Abstract Barra de Navidad lagoon (BNL) is one of the main coastal wetlands in the coast of the State of Jalisco, Mexico. It is a Ramsar site (wetland of international importance) and has been included among the 81 mangrove sites with biological relevance and ecological rehabilitation needs in Mexico. Alt...
