          Abstract

          High salinity in the root zone affects the growth of many plant species. Soil salinity can lead to reduced emergence and low growth of seedlings. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of banana passion fruit (P. tripartita var. mollissima (Kunth) L. H. Bailey) seedlings under saline stress. The salinity effect on growth and dry matter (DM) production of banana passionfruit seedlings was evaluated under greenhouse conditions at Tunja / Colombia. Plantlets were grown in plastic bags filled with soil and 0; 20; 40 and 80mM NaCl were added to the soil, which induced the following different electrical conductivity levels: 0.70; 2.38; 3.47 and 5.49 dS m-1 respectively. Salt was added gradually to the soil, up to the mentioned concentration. Results indicate significant differences among treatments. Plants of the control treatment without salt had higher number of leaves, total stem + shoot length, specific leaf weight, leaf area and DM in relation to salt treated plants. Leaf area and DM production were drastically reduced by salinity, especially by 80mM NaCl. The DM partitioning was also affected by salinity, reducing dry matter accumulation in leaves and increasing the DM in petioles + stems + shoots and roots. The findings from the study indicate that banana passionfruit seedlings are moderately sensitive to salt stress.

          Las altas concentraciones de sales en la zona cercana a la raíz afectan el crecimiento de muchas especies de plantas. La salinidad en el suelo conduce a la reducción de la emergencia de plántulas y además ocasiona un crecimiento pobre de las mismas. El efecto de la salinidad sobre el crecimiento y producción de materia seca (MS) en plántulas de curuba fue evaluado bajo condiciones de invernadero en Tunja / Colombia. Las plántulas crecieron en bolsas plásticas con suelo en el que se adicionó NaCl en diferentes concentraciones; 0; 20; 40 y 80mM, las cuales indujeron diferentes niveles de conductividad eléctrica: 0,70; 2,38; 3,47 y 5,49 dS m-1 respectivamente. La aplicación de sal al suelo, se realizó de forma gradual hasta llegar a la concentración indicada en cada tratamiento. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos. Las plantas del tratamiento control tuvieron un mayor número de hojas, longitud total de tallos y ramas, peso específico de las hojas, área foliar y MS con relación a las plantas tratadas con sal. El área foliar y la producción de MS se vio fuertemente reducida por la salinidad, especialmente en el tratamiento con 80 mM de NaCl. La distribución de MS también se vio afectada por la salinidad, de tal forma que se redujo acumulación de MS en las hojas e incrementó en los tallos, las ramas y las raíces. Los resultados obtenidos indican que las plántulas de curuba son moderadamente sensibles al estrés salino.

          Mechanisms of salinity tolerance in plants.

          The mechanisms of salt stress response and tolerance have eluded definition despite reasonable success in defining their physiological manifestations. In this review, we consider the integrated salt metabolism of plants, essentially as a problem in meganutrient physiology. Two critical aspects of cellular and organismal metabolism are given particular attention-those involved in the control and integration of Na(+) acquisition and allocation in plants and those involved in readjustment of other aspects of metabolism, especially those involving carbon as a resource.
