Abstract:

Citrus is ranked among the most sensitive crops to salinity. This constrainst affects plant morpho-physiology and may lead to yield declines. To assess the effects of salinity on some physiological and biochemical traits, an in vivo screening test was performed under controled saline conditions using different citrus rootstocks i.e. citrumelo 57-98-502, Swingle citrumelo F9-22-55 (80-11), citrumelo 57-98-506, Swingle citrumelo 74-1, citrumelo Winter Haven B2, Carrizo citrange 28608, Troyer citrange C35B6A11, Troyer citrange B2 31655, citrumelo 4475 B2G3, citrumelo 4475 B B6A5, citrumelo 4475 A B6A4, citrumelo Sacaton 30057, Gou-Tou SRA 506, Volkamer lemon B2 28613 andTroyer citrange.Plants were grown on a sand substratum and subjected to three salt treatments including 0 (control), 2 and 5 g.l-1 NaCl during 90 days

Keywords:
