Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Relative growth rate, leaf area and water content declined as salinity increased, more under alkali stress.
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic pigment content increased at low salinity under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic pigment content fell sharply with rising salinity under alkali stress.
- Observation Net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate followed a single peak with salinity under salt stress.
- Intervention effect These gas exchange measures were below controls only above 150 mM under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Net photosynthetic rate, conductance and transpiration fell sharply with rising salinity under alkali stress.
- Intervention effect Shoot sodium content and sodium to potassium ratio increased under both stresses.
- Intervention effect Shoot potassium content decreased under both stresses.
- Intervention effect Mineral changes were greater under alkali than salt stress.
