The effects of NaCl stress on Jatropha cotyledon growth and nitrogen metabolism
The effects of treatment with 50 and 100 mM NaCl on cotyledon growth, nitrogen assimilation, and the activities of key nitrogen metabolism enzymes were investigated in developing Jatropha curcas cotyledons. Growth inhibition was observed, and relative water content in the developing cotyledons signi...
