Salinity Resistance Of Certain Rice ( Oryza Sativa L.)Cultivars, Mehmet Alpaslan, Aydin Güneş, Süleyman Taban
Turkish Journal of Biology
A greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate the response of six rice ( Oryza sativa L.) cultivars (Ribe, Tri-445, Serhat 92, Kros 424, Baldo and Rocca) to NaCI salinity. While salinity inhibited the growth of all six cultivars, Baldo, Ribe, Rocca and Kros-424 were less affected than the other cultivars. Salt treatment increased Na and CI content of the plants, while it decreased K content. In general, the proline content and stomatal resistance of the cultivars were increased by salt treatment.

Virginia Journal of Science
During the summer and early fall of 1998, 34 estuarine stations in Virginia were sampled for Pfiesteria like organisms (PLOs) and associated water quality conditions. Stations were sampled either bimonthly (20 stations) or monthly (14 stations) from June to October 1998. At each station, a set of live and Lugol' s preserved samples were collected for presumptive counts of PLOs and water quality conditions were determined. Water quality parameters measured included standard field parameters, nutrients (total, dissolved, and particulate), chlorophyll a, and conventional water quality indicators. Although PLOs were relatively low in 1998 as compared to 1997, presumptive PLO counts …
