Statistical studies on anatomical modifications in the radicle and hypocotyl of cotton induced by NaCl

Salinity affects extensive arid and semiarid areas all over the world, producing diminished yields of many crops. Even though there is a variety of research and reviews related to physiological and anatomical modifications produced in salinity-tolerant species, today there are different points of vi...
