Obtaining Salt Stress-Tolerant Eggplant Somaclonal Variants from In Vitro Selection

An efficient regeneration protocol was applied to regenerate shoots on salt stress-tolerant calli lines of aubergine (<i>Solanum melongena</i>). These NaCl-tolerant cell lines were obtained by two different methods. On the one hand, the developed callus tissue was transferred to a medium...

These NaCl-tolerant cell lines were obtained by two different methods. On the one hand, the developed callus tissue was transferred to a medium with a continuous salt content of 40, 80, 120, or 160 mM NaCl.
