^β SIS, salt injury score; CHL, chlorophyll content; SNC, shoot sodium concentration; SKC, shoot potassium concentration; SNaK, ratio of the shoot sodium and potassium concentration; RNC, root sodium concentration; RKC, root potassium concentration; RNaK, ratio of the root sodium and potassium concentration. *, **, *** indicate significance at 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001 probability level in comparison between treatment and control; a, b represents Tukey lettering for differences in treatment levels, shared letter between the genotypes indicates no significant difference at 0.05 probability level.
