Abstract
⺠Osmotic stress acclimatization was applied to enhance the salt tolerance of seedling. ⺠We added polyethylene glycol (PEG) to culture solution for 2 days. ⺠Survival rate under salt stress was significantly improved with the PEG treatment. ⺠Increments of the leaf sugars and Ca2+ contents were observed. ⺠Photosynthesis and Fv/Fm were maintained under salinity in the PEG-treated seedling.
