Effects of catalase on chloroplast arrangement in Opuntia streptacantha chlorenchyma cells under salt stress

Abstract In arid and semiarid regions, low precipitation rates lead to soil salinity problems, which may limit plant establishment, growth, and survival. Herein, we investigated the NaCl stress effect on chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthetic-pigments, movement and chloroplasts ultrastructure in c...
