Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Both cultivars reduced net photosynthesis after NaCl treatment.
- Intervention effect Both cultivars increased water-use efficiency after NaCl treatment.
- Observation Leccino translocated sodium to leaves and bark.
- Intervention effect NHX and vacuolar ATPase subunit E were overexpressed under NaCl in both cultivars.
- Observation SOS1, ATPase11 and ATPase8 were overexpressed in Frantoio.
- Association Frantoio root sodium accumulation was positively related to K, Mn, Mg and Ca accumulation in aboveground tissues.
- Mechanism Authors suggest element mobilization, especially Ca, with sodium management gene expression may contribute to Frantoio salt tolerance.
