Nonsaline and saline (30 mM NaCl), Zn (10, 20, 40 mg kg -1 ) and without Zn treatment and factorial combinations of NaCl and Zn on the fresh and dry weights of the plants, and sodium (Na), chloride (Cl) and zinc (Zn) contents of both young and old leaves were determined and the effects of Zn on the Na and Cl translocation within the plants were investigated. Salinity decreased the fresh and dry weights of the plants while this effect of salinity diminished with increasing Zn levels. Na and Cl con-centrations of both young and old leaf tissues decreased with …

An optimized regeneration protocol and a suitable transformation technique is a necessity in obtaining transgenic plants in a given plant species. This work summarizes a simple culture method to obtain rooted plants from leaf pieces of two tomato cul-tivars (ES58 and WC156) within 3-4 months. Here, we also present our preliminary results on transformation experiments carried out with 8-day-old cotyledon explants and Agrobacterium tumefaciensEHA105 strain.
