S ummary The effects of sodium chloride on the leaf ultrastructure and net photosynthesis of two varieties of rice ( Oryza sativa L.), the land race Amber and the elite breeding line IR2153.26.3.5.2, were examined. Similar concentrations of salt in the leaf tissue had a greater effect in bringing about a disorganization of cellular structure and of decreasing net photosynthesis in Amber than in IR2153.26.3.5.2. It is argued that these data support the view that rice varieties differ with respect to a cellular component of salt resistance.
