Table 5 Salinity tolerance index (STI) of 13 genotypes of potato divided into 7 tetraploid cultivars of Solanum tuberosum (tbr), and 6 diploid clones of S. chacoense (chc) grown in vitro under conditions of high salt stress level (300 mmol L−1 NaCl) with and without glycine betaine (at 400 mg L−1), proline (at 200 mg L−1) or salicylic acid (at 100 mg L−1) treatments

From: The use of osmoregulators and antioxidants to mitigate the adverse impacts of salinity stress in diploid and tetraploid potato genotypes (Solanum spp.)
