(
International Journal of Recent Scientific Research
, 2016 , Article)
The present study is a recent attempt to survey all the parasitological investigations of the marine
fish inhabiting Qatari waters. These investigations were first embarked upon in the eighteenth
century with the first ...
Exploring Sheraoh Island at South-Eastern Qatar: First Distributional Records of Some Inland and Offshore Biota with Annotated Checklist
(
OMICS International
, 2016 , Article)
Sheraoh island is the most remote among Qatari islands, nearly 73.5 km south-eastern of the mainland of the
peninsula. In March 2010, a preliminary general survey of the species was conducted. Observations were made ...
Roles of Gibberellins and Abscisic Acid in Regulating Germination of Suaeda salsa Dimorphic Seeds Under Salt Stress
(
Frontiers Media
, 2016 , Article)
Seed heteromorphism observed in many halophytes is an adaptive phenomenon toward high salinity. However, the relationship between heteromorphic seed germination and germination-related hormones under salt stress remains ...
