Abstract
The physiological response and tolerance of four fresh-market, cultivated tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum cvs. 'F121', 'F144', Fireball and Patio) to water stress and salinity was determined. Under salinity, ion accumulation, osmotic potential and dry matter production were highly correlated. No such correlation was found under water stress. No correlation between plant tolerance and accumulation of proline could be determined. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
