Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced growth, stomatal conductance and net photosynthetic rate of Phaseolus vulgaris in a greenhouse experiment.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased Na+ and Cl- content of Phaseolus vulgaris, mainly in roots.
- Intervention effect Silicon application significantly reduced Na+ content, especially in leaves, of salt-stressed Phaseolus vulgaris.
- Intervention effect Silicon counterbalanced the effects of NaCl on gas exchange of Phaseolus vulgaris, more evident at 30 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Silicon application did not significantly modify shoot and root Cl- content of Phaseolus vulgaris.
- Intervention effect Silicon partially counterbalanced the salinity-caused drop in K+ content of Phaseolus vulgaris, especially in roots.
- Intervention effect Salinity caused a drop in K+ content of Phaseolus vulgaris.
