Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect NaCl reduced plant dry weight in all cultivars.
- Intervention effect NaCl markedly reduced leaf blade dry weight.
- Association Cultivar differences in dry weight under salt stress reflected relative growth rate differences driven mainly by net assimilation rate.
- Association Cultivars maintaining higher NAR under salt stress had smaller specific leaf area.
- Association Cultivars maintaining higher NAR under salt stress had higher nitrogen per unit leaf area.
- Observation Salt-stressed sorghum retained sodium primarily in roots, limiting delivery to leaves.
- Mechanism The authors considered thicker leaf blades and greater root dry weight contributors to maintained dry matter yield and enhanced growth under salt.
