| Abstract: | In six cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.), Pusa Basmati 1, Basmati 370, Type III, Pant Dhan 4, CSR 10 and Pokkali, embryogenic callus growth, plant regeneration, and proline and total protein contents were studied under salt stress (on agar solidified media containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 % NaCl). Four weeks after inoculation the callus fresh mass decreased with increasing salt concentration in all the six cultivars. The regeneration frequency in salt stressed callus was also lower as compared to control. 15 d and 30 d after inoculation proline content increased several fold whereas total protein content decreased markedly with increase in salt concentration. |
