| Abstract | A laboratory experiment was conducted in order to develop an effective and rapid screening tool to assess the genetic variability for the response of some atriplex species to polyethylene glycol-induced osmotic stress at early growth stage (Seedlings), and to identify the most osmotic stress tolerant species. It has been found that the osmotic stress (- 1.2 Mpa) is considered as the lethal osmotic level, because it reduced the length of roots and shoot by 54.6, 53.3% respectively, and……. |
