Abstract

In Israel Najas marina L. grows mainly in fresh water habitats. The halophytic nature of a population from one such habitat was investigated. NaCl had a positive effect on the growth of Najas, with an optimal concentration of 37–55 μM. Germination percentage was only slightly reduced by NaCl up to a concentration of 74 μM. It is thus concluded that the populations of Najas in Israel retain their halophytic nature. In fresh water habitats, Najas grows under suboptimal NaCl concentrations.
