The Effect of Sodium Chloride on Solute Potential and Proline Accumulation in Soybean Leaves 1

RESUMO
Two cultivars of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) were grown in solution with up to 100 millimolar NaCl. Leaf solute potential was −1.1 to −1.2 megapascals in both cultivars without NaCl. At 100 millimolar NaCl leaf solute potential was −3.1 to −3.5 megapascals in Bragg and −1.7 megapascals in Ransom. The decrease in solute potential was essentially proportional to the concentration of NaCl. In both salt susceptible Bragg and salt semitolerant Ransom, leaf proline was no more than 0.4 micromole per gram fresh weight at or below 20 millimolar NaCl. At 40 and 60 millimolar NaCl, Bragg leaf proline levels were near 1.2 and 1.9 micromoles per gram fresh weight, respectively. Proline did not exceed 0.5 micromole per gram fresh weight in Ransom even at 100 millimolar NaCl. Proline accumulated in Bragg only after stress was severe enough to induce injury; therefore proline accumulation is not a sensitive indicator of salt stress in soybean plants.
