Seven flax cultivars, grown in a greenhouse in nonsaline, moderately saline, and strongly saline (1, 6, and 12 dS m−1) soils had greater dry weights of plant tops on moderately saline treatment. Tops had higher K+ and Na+ concentrations on the saline treatments, but K:Na ratios decreased with increasing salinity. Tops were less salt tolerant than roots. Cultivars responded differently to the treatments, but appeared, overall, similar in salt tolerance. Key words: Flax cultivars, ion concentrations, ion ratios, soil salinity, semi-arid region

The objective of the present investigation was to study the chemical composition of leaves of Carica papaya belonging to family Caricaceae growing in semi-arid region of Kachchh district, Gujarat, India. The leaves of C. papaya were subjected to Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and were analyzed for different mineral composition. As the X-ray Fluorescence is one of the most reliable and accurate, as well as it is also a consistent and non-destructive method for analysis of major and trace elements using a single pressed pellet. During the study it was found that Oxygen, Calcium, Magnessium, Potassium were noted in higher amounts, compared to that of other elements like Silicon, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Chloride, Strontium, Stanous, Aluminium, Cromium and Mangenese, whereas the elements which were not detected in leaves of C. papaya are Vanadium, Titanium, Cobalt and Tantalum.

Collections of nativePseudomonasspp. are kept at the NCAM of Uzbekistan. Some of those organisms were isolated from the rhizosphere of cotton, wheat, corn, melon, alfalfa, and tomato grown in field locations within a semi-arid region of Uzbekistan. Strains used for this study were Pseudomonas alcaligenes,P. aurantiaca,P. aureofaciens,P. denitrificans,P. mendocina,P. rathonis, andP. stutzeri. Some of the pseudomonads have been characterized in this report. These strains produced enzymes, phytohormone auxin (IAA), and were antagonist against plant pathogenic fungi inin vitroexperiments. Most of the strains were salt tolerant and temperature resistant. Some of thePseudomonas spp. isolated in this study have been found to increase the growth of wheat, corn, and tomato in pot experiments.
