Abstract excerpt
Soil salinization is a major cause of plant stress, partly due to the physicochemical similarities between Na(+) and K(+). Na(+) ions compete with K(+) ions for their transport into root cells. However, the point of Na(+) entry remains unidentified. Here, I have applied the Electrical Penetration Graph as a method for whole plant electrophysiology in order to test if (a) root exposure to NaCl induces...
