Fig. 5. — Comparative analysis of selected agronomical and physiological characteristics of plants after the surgical removal of the root meristem tissue. Salt-tolerant bread wheat variety Kharchia 65 was used. Plants were grown either hydroponically (A–D; 200 mM NaCl, 10 d) or in a potting mix (E; 200 mM NaCl, 15 d) and treated with 200 mM NaCl for either 10 d or 15 d, respectively. Chlorophyll content (SPAD value) (A for hydroponic experiment, E for potting mix experiment), maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (chlorophyll fluorescence F_v/F_m value, arbitrary units) (B), and leaf (C) and root (D) Na⁺ content were measured at the end of the experiment and compared between intact (with intact roots) and cut plants (in which root meristems were removed). Mean ±SE (n=24−36). (F) The comparison between leaves from intact and cut hydroponically grown plants after 10 d of salt stress. Different lower case letters denote significant difference between data at P<0.05. Con, non-saline condition.
