Development of Salinity Resistant Somaclones of Justicia adhatoda- an Important Medicinal Plant with Bronchodilatory Effect

摘要

ABSTRACT Soil salinity is one of the major environmental abiotic stresses especially in arid and semi-arid regions and can severely limit plant growth and yield. Cell and tissue culture may serve as a useful tool for the assessment of salt tolerance competence in plants since it allows for relatively fast responses, short generation time and controlled environment. In the present investigation, experiments were conducted to study the effects of salinity on plantlet regeneration and secondary me.
