Plant Response to Saline Substrates II. Chloride, Sodium, and Potassium Uptake and Translocation in Young Plants of Hordeum Vulgare During and After a Short Sodium Chloride Treatment

Abstract

Young barley plants, Hordeum vulgare cv. Chevron, were subjected to a sodium chloride concentration of 100 m-equiv/l. In a "continued" treatment, the salinity stress was maintained for 15 days. In a "removed" treatment, sodium chloride was removed from the substrate after 5 days, and the subsequent response was studied over a period of 10 days.
