“A slight decrease in the DW per leaf length at a given location in the elongation zone may be due to the strongly decreased cellular cross-sectional area by salinity.”

Claim · model-written summary

The authors infer that salinity mainly limits leaf growth through reduced leaf expansion.

“This suggests that the limitation of leaf growth by salinity may be due mainly to the effect of salinity on leaf expansion, but not due to the effect on the synthesis of dry matter.”
