The leaf soluble carbohydrates also increased significantly in MCC544 and MCC760 compared with the others. The minimum decline of electrolyte leakages (6%) was belonged to MCC760 while MCC806 genotypes showed the highest decrease rate (more than 20%). Total leaf chlorophyll content decreased in all genotypes during the stress. However, morphological damages in MCC544 and MCC760 genotypes were less in 28-DOS at 8 and 12 dS.m-1 NaCl, respectively. Overall, proline and leaf soluble carbohydrates were more consistent with salt tolerance responses of the genotypes, and 2 weeks after stress initiation (28-DOS) could be a critical stage for screening the genotypes.</p>",
