Rapamycin-Reactivated Lipid Catabolism in Mill. Exposed to Salt Stress.

Salt stress is one of the most common factors reducing the productivity of crops. We tested the effect of Rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor and autophagy inducer, for the possible amelioration of high-salinity stress in . We analyzed the germination rate, the macro- and micro-morphology of seedlings, and the ultrastructure of cotyledons with a Transmission Electron Microscope.
