Abstract:Abstract.-Tomato seedlings were exposed to 100 mM NaCl during 10 days. NaCl stress led to about 40% and 20% decrease in leaf and root biomass, respectively. Accumulation of Na + and Cl -ions was concomitant with NH 4 + contents increase in stressed leaves and roots. While total aminoacids contents rapidly increased by salt in both organs, they recovered control value in the leaves at the end of treatment. In leaves, NaCl stress increased proline and serine contents, lately associated with accumulation of γ-ami… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
