The development of salt-tolerant tomato genotypes is a basic necessity to defeat the challenges of tomato production under salinity in the field or soil-free farming. Two types of salinity tolerance genes were used SOD and GPX using real time PCR technique under different concentration of NaCl (3, 6 and 9 decimals ), for different groups of tomato plants.
