- Authors
Agami, Moshe; Eshel, Amram; Waisel, Yoav
- Abstract
In Israel Najas marina L. grows mainly in fresh water habitats. The halophytic nature of a population from one such habitat was investigated. NaCl had a positive effect on the growth of Najas, with an optimal concentration of 37-55 mM. Germination percentage was only slightly reduced by NaCl up to a concentration of 74 mM. It is thus concluded that the populations of Najas in Israel retain their halophytic nature. In fresh water habitats, M grows under suboptimal NaCl concentrations.
