Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid and tissue‐specific changes in ABA and in growth rate in response to salinity in barley leaves

TL;DR: It is concluded that NaCl causes a rapid increase in ABA in the transpiring portion of the growing leaf, which leads to a decrease in transpiration, which causes xylem water potential to rise and leaf elongation velocity to be reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biophysics of leaf growth in salt-stressed barley. A study at the cell level

TL;DR: It is concluded that leaf cell elongation in NaCl-treated barley is probably limited by the rate at which solutes can be taken up to generate turgor, particularly at high NaCl levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thellungiella halophila, a salt‐tolerant relative of Arabidopsis thaliana, possesses effective mechanisms to discriminate between potassium and sodium

TL;DR: Determination of ion content in shoots and roots of A. thaliana and T. halophila indicated different strategies of ion uptake and translocation from root to shoot in the two species, and physiological mechanisms, which may confer high salt tolerance to T. Halophila were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The short-term growth response to salt of the developing barley leaf

TL;DR: Biophysical and physiological analyses led to three major conclusions; the immediate reduction and sudden recovery in elongation velocity is due to changes in the water potential gradient between leaf xylem and peripheral elongating cells, and significant solute accumulation is detectable from 1 h onwards.
