The easy loss of water was due to morphological and physiological abnormalities. Leaves of <em>in-vitro</em>-grown shoots and plants had a much thinner cuticle than greenhouse-grown plants and had less epicuticular lipids. Guard cell walls were not flexible enough to allow closure of the stomata. Stimuli like the withdrawal of K<sup>+</sup> and BA, or the application of A1<sup>3+</sup> and ABA caused a reduction of the stomaaal aperture, but not complete closure. No change in aperture was obtained after the application of CO<sup>2</sup> or the withdrawal of light. Stomata of vitrified leaves showed no response to any of the stimuli examined. The leaves formed <em>in vitro</em> were unable to develop further <em>ex vitro</em>.

DIRA 367 was investigated. NaCl-stress resulted in a considerable decrease in growth of the seedlings without causing any significant change in dry weight. While, chlorophyll <em>a</em> content was higher in cotyledonary leaves of seedlings raised in high salt containing media, chlorophyll <em>b</em> content did not show any significant variation till 11th day of growth. Thus the high Chl <em>a</em>/Chl <em>b</em> ratio in NaCl treatments reflects changes in the photosynthetic antenna size. The carotenoid content in 11 day old cotyledonary leaves, on the other hand, was much reduced at high concentrations of NaCl. NaCl treatments caused an increase in water oxidation capacity, as measured through H<sub>2</sub>O → MV (whole chain) or H<sub>2</sub>O → PD<sub>OX</sub> (PS II) photoreactions, by 1.2 to 2.0 fold. But, PS I mediated photochemical activities showed no or only a minor increase by NaCl treatment. The enhancement in photochemical activities noted even in presence of uncouplers (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl and methyl amine) suggest that the NaCl induced enhancement of primary photochemical activity is not linked to the uncoupling of electron transport from photophosphorylation.</p><p>Also, the studies on the interactive effect of <em>in vivo</em> ageing and salinity on the pigment composition and primary photochemical activities suggest that ageing and NaCI-stress result in partly independent and partly interactive changes in the pigment composition and photochemical activities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8798,"journal":{"name":"Biochemie und Physiologie der Pflanzen","volume":"188 1","pages":"Pages 1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0015-3796(11)80251-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79696484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
