e0“Translocation of calcium was more inhibited by sodium in the salt‐sensitive Modoc, and this may reflect differences in calcium transport processes, which could account in part for the greater salt sensitivity of this species.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Root sodium uptake did not vary between Modoc and Kharchia under the tested conditions.
- Observation At low calcium, Kharchia had higher root sodium uptake.
- Intervention effect Kharchia root sodium uptake was more sensitive to inhibition by additional calcium.
- Observation Sodium translocation to shoots was similar in the two wheat species.
- Observation Kharchia had a higher shoot-to-root ratio.
- Observation Shoot sodium concentration on a fresh weight basis was more dilute in Kharchia.
- Observation The authors found no evidence of sodium transport differences explaining differential salt tolerance.
- Mechanism Differences in calcium transport may partly explain Modoc salt sensitivity.
