Abstract
The salt tolerance was studied according to both fresh and dry matter increases of callus cultivated on the media supplemented with various sodium chloride concentrations as well as a high amount of K+, Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions as found in the East Slovakia salt soil lowland. The cells tolerate salinity at least up to 85 mM. According to statistical evaluation the salt concentrations used did not inhibit growth rate and development of tissue cultures.
