Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Supplemental calcium failed to improve growth under high salinity.
- Intervention effect Surplus calcium was associated with stomatal closure.
- Intervention effect Surplus calcium reduced hydraulic conductivity and sap flow.
- Intervention effect Surplus calcium inhibited carbon dioxide assimilation.
- Intervention effect Surplus calcium enhanced leaf water content.
- Intervention effect Surplus calcium left water use efficiency and dry matter unaffected.
- Intervention effect High external magnesium or combined calcium and magnesium gave similar responses to calcium.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced dry matter, hydraulic conductivity, sap flow and leaf magnesium activity.
- Intervention effect Salinity inhibited stomatal opening and carbon dioxide assimilation.
- Intervention effect Sodium chloride increased leaf potassium concentration and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect At 100 mM, sodium chloride significantly increased leaf water content.
- Intervention effect Supplemental calcium did not ameliorate the bean salt stress response.
- Intervention effect The 50 mM sodium chloride treatment improved stomatal conductance and carbon dioxide assimilation at the highest calcium concentration.
- Mechanism The authors infer high non-ion-specific salt sensitivity in Contender.
