Leaf area correlates with lower dry weight (r=0.91)
Verbatim
t0“Blue Panicgrass (Panicum antidotale Retz)”
e0“This decrease resulted from lower leaf area (r=0.91**), lower stomatal conductance (r=0.78**), lower CO2 fixed in photosynthesis (r=0.63**), lower quantum efficiency of photosystem II (r=0.54**) and lower Chl a (r=0.45**), respectively”

Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Highest salinity reduced plant leaf area by 93 and 96% at 28 and 35 days compared with control
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity decreased leaf stomatal conductance, CO2 fixation and quantum efficiency of photosystem II
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity caused a reduction in chlorophyll a and b content in leaves
- Intervention effect Carotenoid content slightly increased at 70-140 mM NaCl
- Intervention effect Carotenoid content decreased again at 210-280 mM NaCl
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity increased sodium content in roots and shoots
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity decreased shoot potassium content
- Association Decline in photosynthesis is associated with reduced root and shoot dry weight
- Association Stomatal conductance correlates with lower dry weight (r=0.78)
- Association CO2 fixation correlates with lower dry weight (r=0.63)
- Association Quantum efficiency of photosystem II correlates with lower dry weight (r=0.54)
- Association Chlorophyll a correlates with lower dry weight (r=0.45)
- Association Leaf area is a main effective component of salinity tolerance (standardized coefficient 0.560)
- Association Chlorophyll a content is a main effective component of salinity tolerance (standardized coefficient 0.245)
- Association Shoot potassium content is a main effective component of salinity tolerance (standardized coefficient 0.264)
