In this sense, saline stress produces a decrement in the quality and quantity of crop production around the world due to an osmotic and ionic imbalance that alters the N metabolism. The objective of this work is to verify if the genotypic variability and a better nitrogen metabolism regulation improve tolerance to saline stress in tomato plants. This study was conducted with (Grand Brix and Marmande RAF) two tomato commercial genotypes (Solanum lycopersicum L). N forms, N metabolism, N use efficiency (NUE) parameters and amino acid profile were analyzed. A greater GS/GOGAT cycle enzyme activity could promote a better N integration in the plant, besides it promotes the generation of osmoprotective amino acids such as proline and improves the salt stress tolerance. A more effective N metabolism regulation indicates more salt tolerance. Our results showed a better effective N metabolism regulation by Grand Brix.}, keywords = {Salt stress}, keywords = {Solanum lycopersicum L.}, keywords = {Nitrogen metabolism}, keywords = {Amino acid}, keywords = {NUE}, keywords = {Photorespiration}, title = {Nitrogen and photorespiration pathways, salt stress genotypic tolerance effects in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.)}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s11738-019-2985-8}, author = {de la Torre González, Alejandro and Navarro León, Eloy and Blasco León, Begoña and Ruiz Sáez, Juan Manuel}, }
