Table 2.
The relative content of total PQ (PQtot, oxidized + reduced) in relation to chlorophyll, size of the photochemically active PQ (PQPA) pool and photochemically non-active PQ (PQNP) pool measured in leaves of M. crystallinum plants irrigated with water or with NaCl solution for 10 days. Data are means ± SE (n = 3–4). Asterisk indicates a significant difference between control and salinity-treated plants, as revealed by t test at P ˂ 0.05.
