Interactive Effects of Salinity and Air Humidity on Two Tomato Cultivars Differing in Salt Tolerance

Ping An; Shinobu Inanaga; Xiang Jun Li; et al. Journal of Plant Nutrition 2005. doi:10.1081/pln-200049177

Other claims from this paper (10)

Intervention effect 80 mM NaCl decreased growth of cv. Naomi by 34% at 30% RH.
Intervention effect 80 mM NaCl decreased growth of cv. Naomi by 21% at 70% RH.
Intervention effect 80 mM NaCl slightly decreased growth of cv. Daniela at 70% RH.
Intervention effect Under NaCl, cv. Daniela had significantly lower leaf and stem Na+ concentrations than cv. Naomi at both humidities.
Intervention effect Under NaCl, cv. Daniela had a higher root-to-shoot ratio than cv. Naomi at both humidities.
Mechanism Salt tolerance of cv. Daniela may be related to its high root-to-shoot ratio and exclusion of Na+ from the shoot.
Intervention effect NaCl-treated cv. Daniela had lower biomass at 70% RH than at 30% RH.
Intervention effect NaCl-treated cv. Naomi had greater biomass at 70% RH than at 30% RH.
Mechanism High RH may have ameliorated NaCl-induced growth reductions in cv. Naomi through larger leaf area, root growth, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and lower leaf Cl−.
Recommendation Increasing air humidity could improve the growth of salt-sensitive tomato cultivars under saline conditions.
