Abstract excerpt
Maintaining ion and water homeostasis in plants is an important defense strategy against salinity stress. Divergence in ion homeostasis between the salt-tolerant Malus hupehensis Rehd. and salt-sensitive Malus prunifolia 'yingyehaitang' was studied to understand their mechanisms for tolerance. Compared with the control on Day 15, plants of those two genotypes under high-salinity treatment had less K(+) in the...
