Pretreatment with a Low Concentration of Methyl Viologen Decreases the Effects of Salt Stress on Chloroplast Ultrastructure in Rice Leaves (Oryza sativa L.)

We investigated the effects of pretreatment with a low concentration of methyl viologen (MV) on the salinity-induced chloroplast degeneration in rice seedlings. The seedlings grown in hydroponic culture containing nutrient solution for 3 wks were treated with 100 nM MV mixed in the hydroponic cultur...
