Abstract: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a large-scale crop worldwide, which provides very few calories, high percentage of water, vitamins, minerals and fiber. But this plant species is relatively sensitive to salinity. Induction to polyploidy alters the number of chromosomes and, consequently, the proportion of allelic genes that contribute to the appearance of characters. Considering the problem generated by salinity in vegetable crops, it is intended to determine tolerance to saline stress under in vitro conditions of lettuce var. Crespa induced polyploidy, Lettuces were introduced in vitro culture, and subsequently were induced to chromosomal duplication with colchicine.
