Table 2.

NaCl tolerance of plants expressing CaN is based on root function

Scion/root stock Plants
Initial, n Survival, %
PKY/PKY 35 8.8 (0–17.6)*
A9/PKY 24 33.3 (14.5–52.1)
PKY/A9 24 66.7 (47.9–85.5)
A9/A9 33 69.7 (54–85.4)

T2 progeny of lines homozygous for Knr (vector control, PKY) and CaN expression (A9) were the resource for scions and root stocks for wedge-grafted plants evaluated for NaCl tolerance. PKY scion onto PKY root stock (PKY/PKY). PKY scion onto A9 root stock (PKY/A9), A9 scion onto PKY root stock (A9/PKY), and A9 scion onto A9 root stock (A9/A9).
