In order to determine the predictive screening parameters that can be applied at early development stages of tomato plants, 55 tomato genotypes were grown in nutrient solution with 200 mM NaCI. The relationships among the salinity scale classes based on the visual appearance and shoot Na+ accumulation, K+/Na+ and Ca2+/Na+ ratios and shoot-root dry weights were investigated.
