- Intervention effect At 0.2 × seawater, plants were nearly twice as large as fresh-water plants after 18 days.
- Observation Root length was proportional to weight and leaf surface area.
- Intervention effect Salinity did not affect root length or leaf surface area relationships.
- Observation Total Na + plus K + per gram root or shoot varied little across salinity levels.
- Observation Root relative Na + and K + contents were little affected by salinity.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity raised shoot Na + content.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity lowered shoot K + content.
- Observation Shoots of 0.2 × seawater plants had no regions free of or exceptionally high in Na +.
