- Intervention effect Fresh and dry matter yield of maize was reduced with rising NaCl concentration.
- Intervention effect Insoluble saccharides and free amino acid contents of maize were reduced with rising NaCl concentration.
- Intervention effect Combined NaCl and Ca2+ generally raised root and shoot lengths of maize relative to NaCl alone.
- Intervention effect Combined NaCl and Ca2+ generally raised fresh and dry matter yield of maize relative to NaCl alone.
- Intervention effect Soluble saccharides, proline and quaternary ammonium compound contents of maize increased with increasing NaCl concentration.
- Intervention effect Addition of CaCl2 or CaSO4 decreased soluble saccharide, proline and quaternary ammonium compound contents relative to NaCl alone.
- Intervention effect Low NaCl concentrations stimulated soluble protein content of maize.
- Intervention effect Higher NaCl concentrations decreased soluble protein content of maize.
- Intervention effect Addition of Ca2+ to the media did not improve soluble protein production in maize.
- Intervention effect Insoluble protein content of maize increased with rising salinity.
- Intervention effect The increase in insoluble protein content with salinity was more pronounced with NaCl plus CaCl2 or CaSO4 than with NaCl alone.
