Sand culture technique was applied to investigate the effect of salinity
and lAA on growth, photosynthetic pigments and mineral elements concentration
of rocket and tomato plants. At certain salinity levels the growth of the
shoots of the test plants was significantly reduced whether the plants were
treated or not with lAA. The total pigment concentration, and pigment fractions
of the leaves were variably affected under the treatments used. Sodium
concentration showed an increased trend by salinization. Potassium level of
tomato shoots exhibited an irregular picture, whereas its level showed an
