Effects of Ca++ on plant sensitivity to high NaCl concentrations
SummaryNaCl reduced growth ofHordeum vulgare much more at low than at high nutrient, due solely to the Ca++-status of the medium.
Alleviation of the adverse effects of NaCl on germination of maize grains by calcium
The lengths of roots and shoots, fresh and dry matter yield, and the contents of insoluble saccharides and free amino acids were reduced with the rise in NaCl concentration. However, under combination of NaCl with Ca2+ ions, these parameters generally raised. Contents of soluble saccharides, proline and quaternary ammonium compounds increased with increasing NaCl concentration, but under addition of CaCl2 or CaSO4, contents of these compounds were decreased. Low concentrations of NaCl stimulated soluble proteins, production, but higher concentrations decreased the content of soluble proteins. Addition of Ca2+ in the media did not improve the soluble protein production. Insoluble proteins content was increased with the rise of salinity level, but these effects were more pronounced with NaCl and CaCl2 or CaSO4 than with NaCl only.
