Effects of artificial seawater on the ultrastructure and morphometry of taro (Colocasia esculenta, Araceae) cells In vitro

Plasma membrane ultrastructure in embryogenic cultures of orchardgrass during NaCl stress

“…Damage to plants exposed to salinity has been ascribed to ion toxicity, water deficit, nutrient imbalance and oxidative stress (Zhu 2001, Panda and Upadhyay 2004, Molassiotis et al 2006. Diaz de Leon 1982, Nyman et al 1987, Dutta Gupta et al 1992, Molassiotis et al 2006. However, a relatively small number of studies have been carried out with in vitro grown cells/tissues (e.g.…”

“…The existence of a vesicle mediated system for solute transport from the vacuole to the plasma membrane was observed first in the secretory salt glands of mangrove species (Shimony et al 1973) and reviewed by Echeverria (2000). The scarce in vitro studies on NaCl induced ultrastructural changes indicate alterations of cell walls (Dutta Gupta et al 1992), accumulation of lipids along the cell wall (Dutta Gupta et al 1992), mitochondria with poorly developed cristae and a higher degree of vacuolation (Diaz de Leon 1982, Nyman et al 1987, Dutta Gupta et al 1992. The scarce in vitro studies on NaCl induced ultrastructural changes indicate alterations of cell walls (Dutta Gupta et al 1992), accumulation of lipids along the cell wall (Dutta Gupta et al 1992), mitochondria with poorly developed cristae and a higher degree of vacuolation (Diaz de Leon 1982, Nyman et al 1987, Dutta Gupta et al 1992.…”

Cytological changes related with salt tolerance in embryogenic callus of Citrus limon

“…There are few reports on the effects of salinity on cell ultrastructure for tissues cultured in vitro (Ben-Hayyim & Kochba 1983;Diaz de Leon et al 1982;Dutta et al 1992;Nymann et al 1987).…”
