Abstract
The abundance and size of leaf epidermal salt hairs in Atriplex triangularis varied in response to salinity, light intensity, and aeration. Density of epidermal salt hairs decreased from the apical to the basal regions of the leaf, while the adaxial leaf surface had a lower density than the abaxial surface. The number of salt hairs per unit leaf area decreased with leaf maturation. Increase in medium salinity led to a decrease in salt hair density and an increase in bladder cell size. Reduced light intensity and lack of aeration generally caused a reduction in salt hair density. The ecological significance of epidermal salt hairs in relation to salt tolerance is discussed.
