Abstract:The responses to NaCl of cultured leaf discs and leaflets derived from fully differentiated leaves and of shoot apices excised from the cultivated tomato Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. and its wild salt-tolerant relatives L. peruvianum (L.) Mill, and Solanum pennellii Cor were compared. The results suggest that the tolerance of the whole plant to salt depends largely on the tolerance of plant organs containing meristematic tissues rather than on tissues already differentiated. This suggestion is based on the positive correlation found between the response to NaCl of shoot apices and of the whole plant, i.e. both whole plants and apices of the wild species were more resistant to salt than those of the cultivated species. No difference was found among the species with respect to the responses of the fully differentiated parts. The ion balance (K+/Na+ and Cl/Na+) in detached leaves and apices exposed to salt was different from the balance in the same parts while attached to the salt-treated plant. This difference may be due to the severance of the excised parts from the major sites controlling the balance of ions in the whole plant.
