Abstract
Effect of salt stress on the stomata variations was studied in Hedysarumcoronarium L. and HedysarumcriniferumBoiss., using optical microscope. The experimental design was a two factorial (species treatments and salt concentrations including 0, 100, 200, 250 mMNaCl) which arranged in a completely randomized ...

Effect of salt stress on the stomata variations was studied in Hedysarumcoronarium L. and HedysarumcriniferumBoiss., using optical microscope. The experimental design was a two factorial (species treatments and salt concentrations including 0, 100, 200, 250 mMNaCl) which arranged in a completely randomized design with four replicates and 50 seeds per replicate. Seeds were grown in plastic pots with sterile sand. All pots were irrigated by distilled water until germination stage. Then the pots were irrigated uniformly every other day with modified Hoagland’s nutrient solution during 40 days and finally stomata traits were measured. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The difference between the means was compared using Duncan test (P<0.05). Results showed that the lowest amount of the stomata length, stomata width and area of stomata were observed at 300 Mm salinity stress. Length and width of stomata were reduced by increasing salinity stress. The length stomata decreased 22.33 and 23.76 (μm) for H. coronarium and H. criniferum respectively, while width stomata decreased by 17.13 and 18.62 (μm) respectively. The area of stomata decreased 397.11 and 442.83 (μm²) for H. coronarium and H. criniferum respectively. Salinity stress had positive effect on stomata density (mm²). The highest density of stomata was found in H. criniferumin 250 and 300 mM salinity levels.

In this study, a new and valuable forage source was introduced with combination and silage of alfa-alfa, Halocnemum and Mesquite via chemical, gas production and in vivo methods. To perform this research, first the right amounts of the species were collected. Then they were cut by chopper to the dimensions of less than 5 cm. Then, Halocnemum, mesquite fruit, alfalfa and molasses were silaged according to dry matter weight in 4 treatments with three replications in a RCBD. These treatments include: 50H-10K-30U-10M, 50H-20K-20U-10M, 50H-30K-10U-10M, 30H-30K-30U-10M. At the end of experiment (28 d) the amounts of silage qualitative factors were measured using standard methods suggested by AOAC. 3 Ghashghaee yearlong sheep (45+2.5 kg) and 3 Toodeh siah yearlong goats(30 +2.5 kg) used in a split-plot scheme with 3 replications for estimation of silage consumption. According to the results, 50H-20K-20U-10M and 50H-10K-30U-10M treatmentshave the most digestibility at 12 hours of incubation. Study of silage nutritional value by gas production methods indicated that 50H-20K-20U-10M treatment has the greatest amount of DOM, OMD. DMD and ME were consumed more by the livestock. Therefore, we can recommend it as an appropriate combination with economic and feeding benefits.
