Description:

In leaves of four tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars (Red Cloud, Floradade, Peto 95, and Scorpio) the contents of chlorophyll (Chl) (a+b), Chl a, and β-carotene decreased due to 100 mM NaCl treatment as compared with those of controls. The contents of soluble sugars and total saccharides were significantly increased in leaves of NaCl-treated plants, but the starch content was not significantly affected. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that in leaves of NaCl-treated plants, the chloroplasts were aggregated, the cell membranes were distorted and wrinkled, and there was no sign of grana and thylakoid structures in chloroplasts. and R.
