Abstract: The embryogenic calli were induced from immature embryos of 9 combinations of maizes. After 5 generations culture, salt-tolerant variants were obtained through three generations of continuous selection with 200 mmol/L NaCl and 5.5 mmol/L Hyp. The results showed that the differentiation frequency of calli selected by Hyp were two times as much as that by NaCl. The contents of soluble sugar and Proline in two variants were higher than in CK. The order of osmotic potential was: the variant selected with Hyp
