Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect ABA accelerated adaptation to high salinity.
- Intervention effect ABA shortened the time to adaptation from 20 days to about a week.
- Observation Nonlethal salinity apparently triggered transient ABA sensitivity lasting about 8 to 10 days.
- Association Leaf PEP carboxylase activity rose faster with ABA.
- Intervention effect Lower ABA concentration enhanced growth.
- Intervention effect Lower ABA concentration controlled shoot sodium concentration.
- Observation Salinity adaptation required about 40 mmol m−3 ABA or above.
- Observation Lowered shoot sodium from low ABA did not suffice for survival at high salinity.
