Citrulline Is an Important Biochemical Indicator in Tolerance to Saline and Drought Stresses in Melon
Salt- and drought-induced alterations in citrulline were assessed in 4 local melon genotypes, 2 sensitive (CU-52, CU-94) and 2 tolerant (CU-196, CU-280), grown in vermiculite in a growth chamber. Salt and drought stresses were started using 30-day-old plants, with 250 mM NaCI and 45 mM PEG (−1.0 MPa...
