Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the mechanisms of salt resistance of four maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids [cultivar (cv.) Pioneer 3906 and newly developed hybrids SR03, SR12 and SR13] during the first phase of salt stress. Plants were grown in aerated nutrient solutions at 1 mM Na+ (control) and 100 mM Na+ (salt stress). Stress was imposed in 25 mM steps and plants were harvested after 2 days at 100 mM Na+. At 100 mM Na+ the...
