The adaptive capacity of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) calluses (cultivars I
AC-carioca, JALO EEP-558, BAT-93 and IAPAR-14) to salt stress (0-80 mM) was
verified to determine the existence of biochemical markers such as organic
and inorganic compounds, and metabolism of polyamines. The results obtaine
d demonstrate that salt (NaCl) interfered with all the parameters analyzed
and its intensity ranged due to the salt concentration and the cultivars us
ed.
