Abstract excerpt
Rice is very sensitive to salt stress at the seedling level, with consequent poor crop establishment. A natural variability in susceptibility to moderate saline environments was found in a group of six Italian temperate japonica rice cultivars, and the physiological determinants for salt tolerance were investigated. Cation (Na+, K+ and Mg++) levels were determined in shoots from individual rice plantlets grown in...
