NaCl effects in Zea mays L. x Tripsacum dactyloides (L.) L. hybrid calli and plants

High salt concentrations in soils negatively affect maize growth. Techniques such as remote hybridization and in vitro selection have been extensively used to accelerate breeding processes. In order to determine the usefulness of Tripsacum to improve salt tolerance in maize, the effects of NaCl, in...
