Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivar "Nour" were evaluated under salt stress conditions using in vitro cultures. Plants were grown on media supplemented with (0.0 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM, 150 mM )Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Shoot length, root length, shoot weight, root weight, root number and leaf area were decreased with elevated salinity level in the nutrient solution. Leaf osmotic potential decreased significantly with increased salinity . The results of this study showed a high sensitivity of cultivar "Nour" in response to salt stress, either in vitro cultures can be sufficient for the study of eggplant responses to salinity as they have similar trendresponses.
