“…They reported that the fresh weight and dry weight in seedlings were decreased by salinity. Other values were similar to those designated by Maas (1990), Izzo et al (1991), Evlagon et al (1992), Maiti et al (1994Maiti et al ( , 1996.…”

“…Germination was not affected by the salinity and the available water treatments. Four days after the emergence of all the seedlings, the seedlings were thinned to four in each pot (Maiti et al 1996). Thirty days after emergence, the plants were removed from the pots, and the shoot and root were separated from the seeds (Misra and Dwivedi 2004).…”

“…and maize (Zea mays L.), reduced length and dry mass of the stem (Izzo et al 1991) and affected leaf elongation and water transport in xylem vessels in the plants, as well as the length and conductivity of the root in clovers and maize (Evlagon et al 1992, Maiti et al 1994, Maiti et al 1996. A high specificity of the genetic differences between isogenic maize hybrids was found with respect to betaine accumulation (Rhodes et al 1989) and the genetic relationship of tolerance to saline-sodic soils was found in maize (Nordquist et al 1992).…”

This research was carried out in the Field Crop Department, Tekirdağ Agriculture Faculty, and Plant Breeding Application and Research Centre, Trakya University, Turkey. The response of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) seedlings to salt and available water level tolerance were compared for its water retention capability and the dry ma�er of shoots, root and shoot weights a�er 2 h incubation at 30°C and 1 h incubation at 105°C under the conditions of absence, as well as the presence of various levels of salinity and available water. Germination was not affected by the salinity and available water treatments. 1.35 dS/m salinity water treatment resulted in increasing the fresh weights of its shoot (1.179 g) and root (0.580 g), weights a�er 2 h incubation at 30°C (shoot: 0.0456 and root: 0.0325 g) and 1 h incubation at 105°C (shoot: 0.0104 g and root: 0.0073 g), water retention capability (0.0123 g) and dry ma�er (0.0236 g) of the shoot in seedlings. The highest fresh weight (root: 0.567 g and shoot: 1.113 g) and water retention capability (0.0112 g) were determined from capacity of the field.

“…Two similar observations were made by Munns et al (1995) and these caused salt injury to plants (Serrano et al, 1998). Although the study was based on seedlings, the literature (Ashraf and McNeilly, 1988;Maiti et al, 1996;Salam et al, 1999) supports the finding of a positive correlation between seedling performance and adult performance. Thus, it may be concluded that screening at seedling stage is beneficial and genetically controlled and can be exploited in a breeding program aimed at salt tolerance.…”

ABSTRACT. Cultivation of crops in soils with high salt (NaCl) content can affect plant development. We examined the morphological and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in tomato. The responses of 72 accessions of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to salinity were compared by measuring shoot and root lengths, and fresh shoot and root weights relative to those of controls (plants grown in normal salt levels). All traits were reduced at the seedling stage when salinity levels were increased. The accession x salinity interaction was significant for all traits. Root length had higher heritability than other traits and was used as a selection criterion to identify salt-tolerant and -non-tolerant accessions. On the basis of root length, accessions LA2661, CLN2498A, CLN1621L, BL1176, 6233, and 17870 were considered to be more tolerant than accessions 17902, LO2875 and LO4360. The degree of salt tolerance was checked by analyzing K + and Na + concentrations and K + /Na + ratio in tissues of plants treated with 10 and 15 dS/m salinity levels. Tolerance of these accessions to salinity was most associated with low accumulation of Na + and higher K + /Na + ratios.

“…The results indicated the vast diversity and variability among the inbred lines which can be further utilized in hybridization programs. Similarly, Maiti et al, (1996) had reported large variations in resistance to drought and saline stress in maize cultivars. Grzesiak (2001) also observed considerable genotypic variability among various maize genotypes for different traits which could be used in selection for drought tolerance.…”
