Figure 4. Glandular trichomes respond to NaCl shock.

Figure 4

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (A: ck; B: 24 h) and map (C: 72 h) showing secreted salt crystals (*) on GTs (C) consisting mainly of Na and Cl. Identical highlighted sites on the Na and Cl maps indicate that the two elements coincide with the salt crystals found on the adaxial leaf surface. (D) Higher Na, Cl, K, and Ca contents in the secretions around the GTs were detected with greater NaCl shock. The results are the means ± standard errors of five biological replicates. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns indicates no significant difference in the four elements between NH and E7 genotypes at different time points.
