Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Grafting significantly increased seedling growth under 50 mmol·L-1 NaCl stress, while growth decreased in own-root seedlings.
- Observation Two proteins were expressed only in grafted seedlings.
- Observation At least twelve proteins changed markedly in grafted seedlings.
- Mechanism The authors suggest the altered proteins may relate to improved salt tolerance from grafting.
