Morphological and physiological responses of Coccoloba uvifera (L.) L. seedlings of dif ferent origin to salt stress

The salinity of soils and water for irrigation is a limitation that influences the productivity crops has increased worldwide af fects morphology physiology plants since it causes osmotic stress ionic toxicity impairs absorption nutrients. ef fect salt on some morphological physiological traits in Coccoloba uvifera (L.) L. (sea grape) seedlings from dif ferent origins was evaluated whose behavior under could be used as an fective criterion tolerance to were determined. A completely randomized design experiment with ten repetitions performed. factors study (0, 5, 15, 25 dS m-1), which maintained period sixteen weeks, second factor origin plant material. level seedlings’ significantly influenced variables controlled. However, necessary carry out situ experiments obtain more information related mechanisms by sea grape tolerate conditions, because consulted sources no research focused evaluating C. Cuba been found. results provide preliminary understand negative this type plant. controlled can salinity.
