Likewise, in Pakistan, Salt Range due to low rainfall is also converting into uncultivable area. In the present study, a greenhouse experiment was conducted at University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, to assess the extent of water stress toleranc in terms of mineral nutrient status. Two populations of each of two grass species i.e., Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and Cenchrus ciliaris L. were used in this experiment. One population of each of two grass species was collected from drought-hit area &quot;Salt Range&quot; and other from often irrigated Faisalabad. Each population of these of grass species were subjected to three different levels of water stress (control, 75% and 50% of field capacity. Imposition of water stress markedly decreased the shoot fresh and dry biomasses, shoot, P, N and Ca2+. However, populations of both grasses collected from the Salt Range were better in growth than Faisalabad region. Each population of both grasses collected from Salt Range accumulated high K+, Ca2+, N and P concentrations. The higher growth of the Salt Range populations of both grass species could be related to the greater accumulation of K+, N, and Ca2+ in the shoots as compared with the populations from Faisalabad.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:000260158200010</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 361WMTimes Cited: 1Cited Reference Count: 43Cited References: AFZAL S, 1999, AUST J SOIL RES, V37, P1035 AGNEW C, 1996, J ARID ENVIRON, V33, P309 AHMAD H, 2002, ONLINE J BIOL SCI, V2, P175 ALAM SM, 1994, HDB PLANT CROP STRES, P227 ASHRAF M, 1986, NEW PHYTOL, V103, P725 ASHRAF M, 1994, CRIT REV PLANT SCI, V13, P17 ASHRAF M, 1996, INT J PLANT SCI, V157, P729 ASHRAF M, 2004, FLORA, V199, P361 ASHRAF M, 2007, PAK J BOT, V39, P1123 ASHRAF MY, 1995, ACTA PHYSIOL PLANT, V17, P315 ASHRAF MY, 1998, ACTA PHYSIOL PLANT, V20, P307 BAJAJ S, 1999, MOL BREEDING, V5, P493 BLOCH D, 2006, J AGRON CROP SCI, V192, P17 BOYER JS, 1982, SCIENCE, V218, P443 BREMNER JM, 1965, METHODS SOIL ANALYSI, V2, P1149 CHAVES MM, 2003, FUNCT PLANT BIOL, V30, P239, DOI 10.1071/FP02076 GHOULAM C, 2002, ENVIRON EXP BOT, V47, P39 JACKSON ML, 1962, SOIL CHEM ANAL JALEEL CA, 2008, COLLOID SURFACE B, V62, P105 KHAN AH, 1994, ACTA PHYSIOL PLANT, V16, P193 KHAN AH, 1999, PAKISTAN J BOT, V31, P461 KHONDAKER ZH, 1983, INT J TROP AGRIC, V1, P211 KIDAMBI SP, 1990, AGRON J, V82, P229 LAWLOR DW, 2002, PLANT CELL ENVIRON, V25, P275 LEVITT J, 1972, RESPONSES PLANTS ENV LIN KHR, 2006, J PLANT PHYSL, V7, P750 MCDONALD AJS, 1996, ADV BOT RES, V22, P229 MORGAN JM, 1986, AUST J PLANT PHYSIOL, V13, P523 PARDO JM, 1998, P NATL ACAD SCI USA, V95, P9681 PASSIOURA J, 2006, AGR WATER MANAGE, V80, P176, DOI 10.1016/j.agwat.2005.07.012 PREMACHANDRA GS, 1990, SOIL SCI PLANT NUTR, V36, P661 SAMARAH N, 2004, J PLANT NUTR, V27, P815, DOI 10.1081/PLN.120030673 SARWAR M, 1991, PAK J AGR RES, V12, P275 SINGH B, 2003, PLANT GROWTH REGUL, V39, P137 SINHA SK, 1978, POTASSIUM SOILS CROP, P223 SNEDECOR GW, 1980, STAT METHODS TAHIR M, 1990, PAK J AGR SCI, V27, P174 TAIZ L, 2002, PLANT PHYSL TANGUILIG VC, 1987, PLANT SOIL, V103, P155 TURNER LB, 1985, J PLANT PHYSIOL, V121, P429 WOLF B, 1982, COMMUN SOIL SCI PLAN, V13, P1035 YASIN M, 1993, PAK J AGR RES, V18, P125 ZIVCAK M, 2008, PLANT SOIL ENVIRON, V54, P133Akram, Nudrat Aisha Shahbaz, Muhammad Ashraf, MuhammadPakistan botanical socKarachiSp.
