e1“NaCl salinity depressed growth and restricted protein formation, CO(2) assimilation, and especially the incorporation of photosynthates into the lipid fraction”
e2“Seedings of Vicia faba were grown for four weeks at two different light intensities (55 and 105 watts per square meter) in a saline (50 millimolar NaCl) and nonsaline nutrient solution”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect NaCl salinity depressed growth of young Vicia faba relative to nonsaline solution.
- Intervention effect NaCl salinity restricted protein formation in Vicia faba relative to nonsaline solution.
- Intervention effect NaCl salinity decreased the incorporation of photosynthates into the lipid fraction, most strongly.
- Intervention effect Photosynthate conversion in leaves was much more affected by salinity than photosynthate turnover in roots.
- Association The detrimental effect of salinity on growth, protein formation and CO2 assimilation was greater under low than under high light.
- Intervention effect High light intensity plants excluded Na+ and Cl- more effectively than low light intensity plants.
- Intervention effect High light intensity plants accumulated nutrient cation species more than low light intensity plants.
- Mechanism Improved ionic status is suggested to favour protein synthesis, CO2 assimilation and conversion of photosynthates into lipids.
