e0“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.”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Cellular cross-sectional area changed slightly with distance in the wheat leaf elongation zone under both salt treatments.
- Intervention effect At 120 mM NaCl, wheat leaf cellular cross-sectional area was reduced by 32% at 5 mm from the base.
- Observation The salinity-associated reduction in wheat leaf cellular cross-sectional area averaged about 36% between 5 and 30 mm from the leaf base.
- Mechanism The authors infer that salinity mainly limits leaf growth through reduced leaf expansion.
