Grafted seedlings had stronger salt tolerance than own-root seedlings, which the authors attribute to better ion compartmentalization.

Title

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Under NaCl stress the grafted tomato seedlings were lightly inhibited.
- Intervention effect Under NaCl stress grafting lowered the Na+ and Cl- increments in the seedlings relative to own-root seedlings.
- Intervention effect Grafted seedlings had significantly higher K+/Na+ and Ca2+/Na+ ratios than own-root seedlings under NaCl stress.
- Intervention effect The highest K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ decrements under NaCl stress occurred in roots, and were lower in grafted than own-root seedlings.
- Observation Under NaCl stress the highest Na+ and Cl- increments occurred in leaves of both grafted and scion seedlings.
