Abstract excerpt
Salinity inhibits plant growth due to osmotic and ionic effects. However, little is known about the impact of genotype and salinity on biochemical and molecular processes in the leafy vegetable lettuce. We report here evaluations of two lettuce types, Verte (NaCl tolerant) and Romaine (NaCl sensitive), under iso-osmotic 100 mM NaCl and 77 mM Na(2)SO(4) treatments. As compared to Romaine, NaCl-treated Verte...
