Abstract: 0.5% NaCl solution was used as salt stress to induce cell death in cotton leaves. The DNA tail, which is the typical character of programmed cell death (PCD), was observed in the leaves after being treated for 3 h to 24 h. The result indicated that salt stress could induce PCD in cotton leaves.
