Selecting salt tolerant rootstocks is a sustainable approach for developing fruit trees in salinity prone areas. 60-day-old seedlings of <em>Pistacia vera </em>‘Akbari’ and ‘Ghazvini’, and <em>P. vera</em> ‘Ghazvini’ × <em>P. atlantica </em>(G×A) were subjected to 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl in half strength Hoagland’s nutrient solution. After 45 days, the growth, water relations, and oxidative damage parameters were investigated. Salt stress reduced plant biomass, height, crown diameter and leaf number, but increased specific leaf area (SLA) of the seedlings. Under salt stress, the growth of ‘Akbari’ seedlings was higher than the other genotypes. Accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline was observed in the leaves of salt affected seedlings. ‘Ghazvini’ seedlings had the highest MDA concentration and the lowest cell membrane stability in their leaves. Degredation of photosynthetic pigments under salt stress was lower in the leaves of ‘Akbari’ seedlings than that in other genotypes. Increase in leaf succulence was observed in ‘Akbari’ and G×A seedlings in response to salt stress. Relative water content and concentration of anthocyanins in the leaves of pistachio genotypes remained unchanged under salt stress. The results revealed that monitoring leaf abscission, SLA, leaf succulence, MDA concentration, and photosynthetic pigments provide suitable contrast for screening salt tolerance in pistachio. Furthuremore, ‘Akbari’ was found to be the most salt tolerant genotype.

Physiological Analysis

Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar os efeitos da salinidade nas relacoes hidricas e teor de pigmentos fotossintetizantes em mudas de pitangueira. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um experimento em casa de vegetacao do Laboratorio de Fisiologia Vegetal, pertencente ao Departamento de Biologia da UFRPE, no periodo de dezembro de 2010 a abril de 2011. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado com quatro tratamentos salinos: 0 (controle), 30, 60 e 90 mM de NaCl, e com cinco repeticoes por tratamento. Aos 35 e 95 DAD (dias apos diferenciacao) decorreram as analises fisiologicas. Foram mensurados o potencial hidrico foliar e o teor relativo de agua em dois horarios: antemanha (4h) e meiodia (12h) e os pigmentos fotossintetizantes. A alta demanda evaporativa (12 horas) ocasionou reducoes significativas para o potencial hidrico foliar e teor relativo de agua na pitangueira. Nestes horarios tambem ocorreram diferencas nos pigmentos, entre os niveis de salinidade estudados. Os resultados indicam que a imposicao da salinidade propiciou reducoes no status hidrico das plantas. Em relacao aos pigmentos fotossinteticos, o estresse em curto prazo gerou sua diminuicao, porem em longo prazo, gerou aumento dos mesmos. A variavel fotossintetica estudada mais afetada foram os carotenoides. Palavras-chave: Potencial Hidrico Foliar, Teor Relativo de Agua, estresse salino, pigmentos fotossinteticos  Water Relations and Production of Pigments in Seedlings Photosynthetic Eugenia Uniflora l. Under Salinity Conditions   ABSTRACT This research had as objective evaluate the effects of salinity in the hydric relations and photosynthetic pigments amount in Eugenia uniflora L.. A experiment was developed in the greenhouse of the Laboratory of Vegetal Phisiology, UFRPE, Brazil, between December 2010 and April 2011. The experimental was designed with four treatments: 0 (control), 30, 60 and 90 mM NaCl with five repetitions each treatment. At 35 and 95 days of experiment physiological analysis were performed. It was measured the leaf hydric potential and the relative water content, at two different moments: pre-morning, AND MID DAY and the photosynthetic pigments. The high evaporative demand (mid day) caused significant reductions in the leaf hydric potential and relative water content in the E. uniflora. At the referred times it was also possible to observe differences in the photosynthetic pigments between the levels of stressing. Results indicate that the imposition of high salinity reduced the hydric status of the subjects. Relating to the photosynthetic pigments the short-term salt stress caused a reduction that was overcome in the long-term stressing. The most affected pigment studied were the carotenoids.  Keywords: Leaf hydric potential, relative water content, salt stress, photosynthetic pigments

This paper reports the changes on growth, photosynthesis, water relations, soluble carbohydrate, and ion accumulation, for two salt-tolerant and two salt-sensitivePhaseolusspecies grown under increasing salinity (0, 60 and 90 mM NaCl). After 20 days exposure to salt, biomass was reduced in all species to a similar extent (about 56%), with the effect of salinity on relative growth rate (RGR) confined largely to the first week. RGR of salt-tolerant species was reduced by salinity due to leaf area ratio (LAR) reduction rather than a decline in photosynthetic capacity, whereas unit leaf rate and LAR were the key factors in determining RGR on salt-sensitive species. Photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance decreased gradually with salinity, showing significant reductions only in salt-sensitive species at the highest salt level. There was little difference between species in the effect of salinity on water relations, as indicated by their positive turgor. Osmotic adjustment occurred in all species and depended on higher K+, Na+, and Cl−accumulation. Despite some changes in soluble carbohydrate accumulation induced by salt stress, no consistent contributions in osmotic adjustment could be found in this study. Therefore, we suggest that tolerance to salt stress is largely unrelated to carbohydrate accumulation inPhaseolusspecies.
