Abstracts |
The effects of NaCl and salt solution-induced salinity (1.2, 4, 6.5, 8 dS/m), on the leaf proline content and growth of tomato growing in symbiosis with Glomus intraradices and G. mosseae were determined in pot experiments. The total growth period of tomato was 165 days. Tomato plants growing in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza recorded higher shoot dry weight, leaf area, root colonization, fruit weight and leaf proline content. G. intraradices and G. mosseae increased the yield of the crop by 10 and 16%, respectively. Differences in the parameters measured due to the source of salinity was not significant, although proline leaf concentration was higher when salinity was induced by NaCl at 6.5 and 8 dS/m.. |
