Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced calcium uptake and concentration in cotton roots.
- Observation Xylem and phloem cell walls of cotton roots grown with sufficient Ca and low salinity thickened in about 70 hours and exhibited high birefringence.
- Observation Young cell walls in the pericycle or laterals of cotton roots did not exhibit birefringence.
- Intervention effect Even at adequate calcium, salinity retarded the development of thick stele cell walls in cotton roots until about 140 hours.
