Salt-tolerant Gevas Sirik 57 (GS57) genotypes and salt-sensitive 4F-89 French variety, previously determined in our preliminary study, were used in the study. The genotype and the variety exposed to 100mM NaCl application developed different mechanisms to be protected against toxic effects of Na + ion. Salt-sensitive 4F-89 French variety let Na + accumulate in all organs. On the contrary, salt-tolerant GS57 did not avoid salt and acted selectively among ions; the majority of toxic ion Na + accumulated in old leaves and shoots and the plants did not transport them into young leaves. K + accumulation was high in organs in which Na + concentrations were low, and vice versa; Na + content was low in young and high in old leaves of GS57, but K + content was opposite. Ca 2+ content in young leaves of GS57 and 4F-89 decreased; still its content was the highest of all examined ions found in young leaves. This indicated that beans can develop different mechanisms to accept and adapt high levels of salt. Storing toxic ion (Na + ) in old leaves and having a limited transmission of salt into young leaves serves as a protection from detrimental effects of salt.

The production and consumption of sweet cherry, which are consumed with pleasure by consumers, are increasing day by day due to its excellent quality, attractiveness, and effects on human health (Aglar et al., 2017;Giménez et al., 2016). Turkey ranks first in terms of production and exports by realizing 26% of the world sweet cherry production, were unable to reach to the desired level at exports (13%) yet (Anonymous, 2017). The main reasons for this are poor quality and deficiencies in post-harvest marketing strategies.This situation brings into the foreground the pre-harvest practices that will contribute to obtaining high-quality fruits and maintaining
