Abstract
Shoots of Bacopa monniera exhibited 100 % regeneration on Murashige and Sko og medium with 2 % sucrose, 0.2 mg dm(-3) 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, 0.5 mg dm(-3) 6-benzylaminopurine and 50 mg dm(-3) glutamine. When the medium was supplied with various concentrations (5 - 15 g dm(-3)) of sodium chloride, proline content in regenerants was six times higher than in the control. Wi th increasing NaCl concentration photosynthetic rate decreased and fresh ma ss and root length of regenerants declined. NaCl also induced formation of new proteins.
