The cell selection with heavy metal ions was proposed for obtaining salt tolerant plant cell lines. On selective media with the addition of Ba2+ cations resistant soybean and wheat cell variants were obtained. Doses of Ba2+ cations were lethal for wild type cell cultures. The selected clones were tested under stress pressure of various agents: Ba2+ ions, sea water salts, sodium sulfate. Resistant cells sustained any type of lethal stress. Calli retained salt tolerance after cultivation on salt-free medium during several passages. During cultivation under salinity cells demonstrated low K+/Na+ ratios and high free proline accumulation. The Ba2+ provoked opposite cell reactions. It is assumed that combined stress resistance is concerned with realization of different protection mechanisms.

Keywords: soybean, wheat, cell selection, Ba2+ cations, salt tolerance
