Effect of salinity level on relative biomass changes in crop plants. The relative dry weight compared to control was used as a growth parameter. The irrigation of soil by saline water (NaCl) from 0–300 mM was used salt application. Sources of the data were: A. thaliana: [25,32,41,42], wheat: (Triticum aestivum) [30,36,43,44], rice (Oryza sativa): [31,33], maize (Zea mays): [24,34,45,46,47], tomato: (Solanum lycopersicum): [35,48,49], sunflower: (T Helianthus annutis): [50,51,52], ryegrass (Lolium perenne): [53], salicornia: [37,38,39].
