Root and shoot ion content converges after 48 h of NaCl stress. (A–C) NaCl stress significantly increases the proline and sodium content of both shoots and roots, while significantly reducing the potassium content of roots, resulting in convergence of ion content between shoot and root under NaCl treatment. (D–H) NaCl stress (D) significantly decreases magnesium content in shoots, (E) significantly decreases phosphorus content in roots, (F) has no significant effect on manganese content, (G) significantly decreases zinc content in roots, and (H) significantly decreases iron content in roots. All accompanying measurements and statistics are provided (Supplemental Data S3: Tables S2A,B) as well as analysis of these data via ANOVA (Supplemental Data S3: Table S3). Different letters used in the figures indicate P < 0.05 between treatments or tissues via t.test.
