Abstract excerpt
A plant's ability to maintain an optimal cytosolic K(+)/Na(+) ratio has long been cited as a key feature of salinity tolerance. As traditional whole-leaf nutrient analysis does not account for tissue and organelle-specific ion sequestration, the predictive value of this index at the whole-plant level is not always satisfactory. Consequently, suitable in situ methods for functionally assessing the activity of the...
