“…The leaves of purslane can be frozen or dried and stored in jars for several years. Purslane is one of the vegetable crops that is eaten extensively in soups and salads in Greece, Turkey and other Mediterranean countries, where the incidence of both heart disease and cancer is low [4,5].…”

The effects of microwave drying on moisture content, moisture ratio, drying time and effective moisture diffusivity of purslane leaves (Portulaca oleracea L.) were investigated. By increasing the microwave output power (180-900 W) and the sample amounts (25-100 g), the drying time decreased from 43 to 12.5 minutes and increased from 27 to 54 minutes, respectively. To determine the kinetic parameters, the drying data were fitted to various models based on the ratios of the differences between the initial and final moisture contents and equilibrium moisture content versus drying time. Among the models proposed, the semi-empirical Midilli et al. model gave a better fit for all drying conditions applied. By increasing the microwave output power and decreasing the sample amount, the effective moisture diffusivity values ranged from 5.913×10 −11 to 1.872×10 −10 m 2 /s and from 9.889×10 −11 to 3.292×10 −11 m 2 /s, respectively. The activation energy was calculated using an exponential expression based on the Arrhenius equation.

“…There are many procedures that can be used to improve salt affected land, such as, water leaching, chemical remediation and phytoremediation (Ahmad and Chang, 2002;Sharma and Minhas, 2005;Qadir et al, 2007). A phytoremediation technique is an effective way to solve the saltaffected soil problem (Turner and Ward, 2002;Qadir and Oster, 2004;Qadir et al, 2007;Jianfeng et al, 2008;Kiliç et al, 2008).…”

Eucalyptus tree is a high potential plant species as a deep root system for water absorption to prevent the salt rise-up, a large bushy to cover the surface area and to detoxify the toxic salt ions. The aim of this research is to investigate the responses of Eucalyptus camaldulensis to different sites of inland salinity. Survival percentage of salt-stressed eucalypt was decreased, relating to salt contamination and negatively correlated with proline accumulation. Water use efficiency in the salt-stressed leaves was negatively related to electro conductivity (EC) values in the salt-affected soil. Chlorophyll a (Chl a) and total chlorophyll (TC) degradations were positively related to maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) (F v /F m) (r 2 =0.89) and quantum efficiency of PSII (Φ PSII) (r 2 =0.95), leading to low net photosynthetic rate (P n) (r 2 =0.79) and to reduce the growth characteristics in term of plant height and circumstance. The survived eucalypt plants in the severe salinity land containing high salt contamination (1.7-2.0% salt) may be further applied as potential plant species to remediate the inland salinity soil.

“…Osmotic stress can also be induced by limiting water absorption in soil, and ionic stress resulting from high concentrations of potentially toxic salt ions in plant cells [4]. Saline stress affects several biochemical and metabolic processes in plants, including protein synthesis, photosynthesis, and lipid metabolism, therefore, growth and yields are reduced [5,6]. The accumulation of ions, such as sodium chloride, can alter many physiological activities [7], decrease productivity, and cause plant death [2].…”

Role of some rhizospheric Pseudomonas on the growth and physiology of broad bean (Vicia faba) under salt stress conditions

Salt stress affects the development and growth of plants in various ways as a result of its effect on water relationships, photosynthesis, and nutrient absorption by physiological and biochemical processes. Consequently, several researchers have increasingly studied the effect of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) as promoters and enhancers under saline environment. The main goals of this study were to examine the manifested response of the broad bean plant under saline conditions and to evaluate the role of some Pseudomonas isolates in improving plant tolerance to salt stress. Three Pseudomonas strains were isolated (P1 and P7 from a saline soil and P15 from a vineyard soil). These isolates were screened by salinity and used as inoculums in Vicia faba plants (OTONO variety) irrigated with two saline solutions (NaCl; 100 and 150 mM L−1) and one without salinity. The results show that salinity decreased the fresh weight, total chlorophyll content, and the Na+/K+ ratio, but it increased proline accumulation in inoculated and noninoculated plants. The inoculation of V. faba plants with P1, P7, and P15 strains significantly increased the production of fresh biomass in the presence and absence of salt stress, and positively affected the accumulation of proline and the Na+/K+ ratio. The inoculation with bacterial strains increased the total chlorophyll content in plants at all salt treatment levels, especially the P1 strain that showed a significant effect.
