Impact of Salinity Duration on Growth, Photosynthesis, Water Relations, and Recovery Capacity Reveals Adaptive Responses in Hordeum maritimum
ABSTRACT Although the physiological mechanisms underlying salt tolerance in wild barley ( Hordeum maritimum ) are relatively well understood, its recovery after salt stress remains poorly characterized. In this pot experiment, plants were exposed to 200 mM NaCl for 0, 15, 30, 45, or 60 days to evaluate changes in growt...
