Abstract excerpt
Salinity is one of the biggest challenges that need to be faced in crop production. Citrus is highly sensitive to salt stress and obtaining rootstocks with improved resistance to salinity is key for the citrus growing industry. In this study, five mutants of Citrus macrophylla rootstock, obtained through gamma radiation and in vitro pre-selected for their resistance to salinity, were irrigated with a solution...
