Contrasting physiological responses to high salinity between two varieties of corn ’Lluteño’ (salt tolerant) and ’Jubilee’ (salt sensitive)

’Lluteño’ is the only one corn capable to prosper in the Valley of Lluta under saline conditions (EC = 9.1 dS m-1). This cultivar has been little studied and there is no current information about its growth and about the possible mechanisms involved in its tolerance to salts. The...
