Abstract
A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the morphological, physiological and biochemical responses of four citrus rootstocks viz. Volkameriana (Citrus volkameriana Ten. and Pasq.), Rangpur Lime (Citrus limonia Osbeck), Trifoliate Orange (Pontius trifoliate (L.) Raf.) and Rough Lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.) to sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity applied at seedling stage. One year-old uniform citrus seedlings were grown in sand culture irrigated with modified half-strength Hoagland’s solution and treated with different NaCl concentrations (0, 75, 100 and 150 mM) for 25 days. Parameters such as plant height, leaf drop and tip burning symptoms differed according to the ability of rootstocks type in coping with salt stress. Salinity significantly (P
