Effects of NaCl (150 mM), proline (10 mM) and their combination on growth and contents of chlorophyll, proline and protein of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Kizilhaç) seedlings in vitro were investigated. NaCl decreased seedling growth. Proline added to control seedlings did not change seedling growth but decreased chlorophyll and increased protein contents. When proline added to NaCl-treated seedlings growth was increased in comparison with NaCl-treated only. Thus, proline alleviated salinity stress in bean seedlings.

Keywords: embryo culture; Phaseolus vulgaris; salt stress
Subjects: in vitro culture, somatic embryogenesis; Phaseolus vulgaris; proline; salt stress, proline; somatic embryogenesis
