Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Increasing NaCl inhibited celery growth.
- Intervention effect Higher NaCl reduced leaf length, diameter and number.
- Intervention effect Higher NaCl improved dry matter and chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Higher NaCl increased leaf temperature and turgor loss.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced leaf relative water content.
- Intervention effect Leaf fresh and dry weights were lower even at 50 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Leaf temperature was higher under salinity and peaked at 100 mM NaCl.
- Intervention effect Salinity made abaxial leaf stomata smaller.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased the number of abaxial leaf stomata.
- Recommendation Authors concluded celery could tolerate salinity below 100 mM NaCl.
