Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect NaCl reduced shoot dry weight in all cultivars.
- Intervention effect NaCl enhanced leaf MDA content and relative membrane permeability in all cultivars.
- Observation The salt response differed between lucerne cultivars.
- Intervention effect Under NaCl, Rambler retained significantly greater shoot dry weight than other cultivars, falling 17.2% to 0.17 g per plant.
- Observation Under NaCl, Rambler had higher K content.
- Observation Under NaCl, Rambler had lower Na content.
- Observation Under NaCl, Rambler had a higher relative shoot K/Na ratio.
- Intervention effect Daye leaf MDA content did not increase significantly.
- Intervention effect Daye leaf RMP did not increase significantly.
- Observation Relative salt tolerance ranked Rambler, Daye, Sandili, Gannong No.3, then Longdong.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Rambler and Daye for pasture establishment on irrigated land in arid and semi-arid west China.
