Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Salt stress inhibited the tissue elongation rate of maize leaves.
- Intervention effect The kinetics of extended apoplast pH changes in maize leaf tissue were similar for non-stressed and salt-stressed tissues at all tested NaCl levels.
- Intervention effect The rate of spontaneous acidification was similar for salt and control treatments in in situ experiments.
- Observation Mature nongrowing maize cells caused medium alkalinization, unlike growing cells that acidified the medium.
- Intervention effect Fusicoccin stimulated elongation growth and acidification rate of maize tissue to a similar extent in control and salt treatments.
- Mechanism Salinity does not inhibit maize cell growth by impairing the acidification process.
