K+ retention in leaf mesophyll, an overlooked component of salinity tolerance mechanism: a case study for barley.

Abstract excerpt

Plant salinity tolerance is a physiologically complex trait, with numerous mechanisms contributing to it. In this work, we show that the ability of leaf mesophyll to retain K(+) represents an important and essentially overlooked component of a salinity tolerance mechanism. The strong positive correlation between mesophyll K(+) retention ability under saline conditions (quantified by the magnitude of NaCl-induced...
