Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Salt addition caused a polyphasic decrease in photosynthesis activity of potato plants.
- Observation The earliest phase of the photosynthesis decrease started several minutes after salt addition in potato plants.
- Observation Salt addition triggered rapid hydraulic and calcium waves from root to shoot in potato plants, earlier than the first phase of the photosynthesis response.
- Association Inhibition of calcium signals by lanthanum decreased as rapid changes in photosynthesis formed in potato plants.
- Mechanism Calcium waves play a role in the modulation of rapid changes in photosynthesis in potato plants.
- Observation Calcium waves are activated by the ionic component of salinity in potato plants.
- Association The salt-induced decrease in transpiration corresponds in time to the second phase of the photosynthetic response in potato plants.
- Observation Sodium accumulates in potato leaves a few hours after salt addition.
- Mechanism Salinity modulates photosynthetic activity in plants through rapid distant signals and by reducing water input and sodium accumulation.
