Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Chinese Spring accumulated much less leaf sodium than Langdon.
- Observation Langdon leaf sap sodium exceeded 600 mol m(-3) after salt treatment.
- Observation Langdon leaf sap sodium was about threefold greater than Chinese Spring.
- Observation Chinese Spring developed a lower leaf sodium to potassium ratio than Langdon.
- Observation Chinese Spring leaf xylem sap contained less sodium than Langdon.
- Observation Under salt treatment, Chinese Spring leaf xylem sodium reached 2 to 3 mol m(-3).
- Observation Under salt treatment, Langdon leaf xylem sodium reached 8 to 10 mol m(-3).
- Observation Transpiration rates were similar in the two varieties.
- Mechanism Authors conclude that Chinese Spring probably excludes sodium from root xylem.
