Treatment оI’barley seedlings with 100 mM NaCl for 7 days caused a significant

decline in plant growth but the plants remained turgid and healthy. Hill reaction activity

of isolated thylakoids was lowered by approximately 25% after 100 mM NaCl (Table

plant growth was slightly affected, and the electron transport activity of isolated

thylakoids should an insignificant inhibition.'These results are supported by the

investigations of the chlorophyll fluorescence induction in isolated thylakoids. After a

long-term 100 itiM NaCl treatment a decrease in the Fv/Fm» ratio was obtained (Fv-

variable fluorescence and

- maximum level o f fluorescence), whereas in stepwise-

treated plants this ratio was between the values of control and NaCl stressed plants.

than in the control beet the resting centers functioned nearly as in the control (Table 2).
