Verbatim
e0“in sorghum plants that were salinized and then water stressed, the adverse effects of salt were mitigated by decreased water loss rates and enhanced osmotic adjustment during water stress.”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation During sorghum osmotic adjustment, storing photosynthate cost less metabolically than conversion to new biomass.
- Intervention effect Sorghum exposed to salt and then water stress had enhanced osmotic adjustment.
- Recommendation The authors call for more tests of combined salt and water stress.
