Different techniques have been suggested to protect plants from environmental stress. Therefore, new techniques should be developed to produce salt-resistant genotypes. Selection and improvement of desirable genotypes for this objective require suitable screening methods. Tissue culture can help in the efforts to produce new cultivars against environmental stress factors. In addition, in vitro culture studies permit relatively faster responses, shorter generation time, and regular environmental conditions as compared to classical breeding methods (Zhao et al., 2009;Elmaghrabi et al., 2013). A high level of salt in soil or in tissue culture may lead to numerous genetic and biochemical changes, causing problems such as limitation in mineral nutrient uptake, nutritional imbalance, mineral deficiency, osmotic stress, ion toxicity, and oxidative stress (Rozema and Flower, 2008;Rahnama et al., 2010;James et al., 2011). It has been reported that oxidative and osmotic stresses affect the cellular membrane integrity, enzyme activity, DNA, and chlorophyll content (Lokhande et al., 2010), which inhibits the functioning of most plant species.Proline is the most common metabolite that accumulates in response to salinity stress, shown to serve as a main osmotic regulator, and was reported in various plant species (Koca et al., 2007). The role of proline accumulation in plants' osmotic regulation is still unclear (Koskeroglu and Tuna, 2010). Soluble sugar is known to commonly accumulate in higher plants against salinity stress, which could play a role in osmotic protection (Khedr, 2003). Salt stress usually inhibits the plant growth. When plants are exposed to different abiotic stresses, some reactive oxygen species (ROS) removing enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase (CAT) are produced (Li and Staden, 1998). The antioxidant enzyme activity is positively associated with salt tolerance in plants (Lokhande et al., 2011). Many researchers have indicated that the salt resistance mechanism is activated during the entire plant stage and this has been tested in both in vitro and ex vitro situations (Watanabe et al., 2000; Troncoso et al., 2002). A close relationship between physiological changes and callus cultures by salt stress has been previously reported in different genotypes (Piwowarczyk et al., 2016).
