Abstract
The present work was aimed to evaluate nine Greek olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars for tolerance to sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity, most of which have never been evaluated or considered to be extinct, in order to be used in the future as olive rootstocks in areas with salt toxicity problems.One-year old, self-rooted trees of the cultivars ‘Aetonicholia Kynourias,’ ‘Arvanitolia Serron,’ ‘Ntopia Atsicholou,’ ‘Koroneiki,’ ‘Lefkolia Serron,’ ‘Ntopia Pierias,’ ‘Petrolia Serron,’ ‘Smertolia,’ and ‘Chrysophylli’ were subjected to 0, 50, 100, and 200 mM NaCl, for six months, in nutrient solution pot experiment. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized factorial design with four replications (of one tree), with the factors being the cultivar (nine levels) and the salt concentration (four levels). According to plant growth parameter results, ‘Arvanitolia Serron’ followed by ‘Lefkolia Serron’ were found to be the most salt tolerant cultivars to growth reduction. The same cultivars accumulated less sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in the leaves by retaining more ions in the roots. Moreover, ‘Arvanitolia Serron’ was able to maintain high potassium (K) levels and K/Na ratio in younger leaves under salinity.
