Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect cucumbers had significantly decreased root hydraulic conductance under NaCl.
- Intervention effect tomatoes had significantly decreased root hydraulic conductance under NaCl.
- Intervention effect Cucumber stomatal conductance was reduced.
- Intervention effect Cucumber root fresh/dry weight ratio decreased.
- Intervention effect Tomato stomatal conductance did not change under NaCl.
- Mechanism Tomatoes were interpreted as more salt resistant than cucumbers, possibly due to membrane water transporters.
