Abstract | ||
This experiment was carried to evaluate the effect of NaCl levels on mineral uptake of callus citrus rootstock (troyer citrange ) cultured in vitro conditions. The calli were cultured on MS culture media supplemented with NaCl (0, 50, 100 or 150 mM) for four weeks. NaCl concentrations in the medium showed significant effect on nutrients levels of callus tissues of troyer citrange. As salinity level in the medium increased, the N, P, K, Ca, and Mg concentrations in plant tissue decreased significantly in callus while Na and Cl concentrations in callus tissue were significantly increased. The 150 mM NaCl gave the highest effect on nutrients accumulation in callus compared to the other concentrations. | ||
