Abstract
Abstract Growth and mineral distribution in bushbeans and sugarbeets in response to salt tolerance were studied in water culture experiments carried out under controlled conditions. Ion‐specific effects of extreme K:Na ratios, supplying chloride as sulfate counterious, at a high level of salinization (80 meg/1) were investigated. No specific effects on the rate of either plant species were observed. Ratios in uptake and translocation were more affected than the total mineral content. As a result of Na exclusion from leaves of salt sensitive bushbeans, the internal K/Na ratio was extremely high whereas the K:Na ratio in salt tolerant sugar‐beet plants was similar to the K:Na ratios supplied. Divalent cations in the leaves of both plant species were suppressed by ion antagonism. The level of chloride accumulated was closely related to the K uptake of both crops. Comparing both plant species, beans already react to disorder of ion regulation during the time of treatment, whereas sugarbeats balanced their ionic uptake and translocation. This ionic imbalance of sensitive beans might affect various metabolic pathways which together result in the tolerance to salinity of the species.
