Changes in growth and structural properties of Citrus cell line Carvalhal acclimated to 100 mM NaCl in the medium were compared to unacclimated control cells and cells exposed to 100 mM NaCl. Transmission electron microscopy showed presence of ring-shaped mitochondria, increase in the number of amyloplasts and lipid bodies, higher cell wall thickness and partitioned vacuoles in acclimated cells.
