Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Arabidopsis plants in NaCl suffering half growth inhibition do not suffer osmotic stress and seldom shoot Na (+) toxicity; overaccumulation of Na (+) plus K (+) might trigger the inhibition. It is widely assumed that salinity inhibits plant growth by osmotic stress and shoot Na(+) toxicity. This study aims to examine the growth inhibition of Arabidopsis thaliana by NaCl concentrations that allow...
