    Notes: Oryza sativa L. (rice) is a salt-sensitive crop species which is relatively ineffective in controlling the influx of sodium and chloride ions to the shoot. Nonetheless, there is considerable varietal and individual variability in salinity resistance, much of which must derive, therefore, from differences in the fates and subsequent effects of saline ions after they have entered the plant. The destination of sodium ions within the plant has been investigated, in saline conditions, by examining the time-course of sodium ion concentrations in different leaves of four varieties and breeding lines of rice of differing salinity resistance. Radionuclide tracers were employed to study short term effects and the degree of retranslocation of these sodium ions. Sodium was not distributed uniformly but accumulated in the older leaves before the younger ones. At least some leaves were maintained at sub-lethal salt concentrations in at least the more salt resistant varieties. Radionuclide tracer studies showed that the discontinuous distribution of sodium (from leaf to leaf) is constitutive, and cannot be explained by time of exposure or differential leaf growth rates, and that significant quantities of sodium were not subsequently retranslocated, either within the plant or to the root medium.

    Notes: Visual damage is commonly used as the criterion for assessment of salinity resistance in rice breeding programmes. The use of other indicators, such as sodium uptake, is being evaluated: a correlation between initial sodium uptake to the third leaf and varietal survival was established and the physiological basis of this examined.Chlorophyll was used as an indicator of metabolic status and the relationship between leaf sodium and chlorophyll concentrations investigated for nine varieties differing in their resistance to salinity. By sampling a population of leaves having a wide range of salt concentrations, inverse relationships between chlorophyll and sodium concentrations were established. The salt concentration in the leaf tissue which causes equivalent toxicity (50% loss of chlorophyll) differed 3-fold amongst these varieties. Varieties showing the greatest tolerance to salt within the leaves were not necessarily those showing the greatest overall phenotypic resistance to salinity.The enzymes malate dehydrogenase and nitrate reductase were activated equally by sodium and potassium ions at 60–80 mol m−3 in both control and saline grown plants and severely inhibited at higher concentrations. If all the salt in the tissue of leaves with 50% chlorophyll remaining was in solution and uniformly distributed the concentration would be 135–500 mol m−3. This is improbable and some level of compartmentation is likely.It is concluded that while initial sodium uptake has predictive value for salinity resistance of varieties, there are other characteristics which are masked by excess salt entry and require independent assessment; no single factor confers resistance.

    Notes: Abstract Grown under saline conditions, Suaeda maritima accumulates Na+ and Cl- into its leaves, where individual mesophyll cells behave differently in their compartmentation of these ions. Measurements of ion concentrations within selected subcellular compartments show that freeze-substitution with dry sectioning is a valuable preparative technique for analytical electron microscopy of highly vacuolate plant material. Using this approach, absolute estimates were made of Na+, K+ and Cl- concentrations in the cytoplasm, cell walls, chloroplasts and vacuoles of leaf mesophyll cells.

    Notes: Summary Sodium chloride reduced the growth of the wheat cultivar Armada. Although phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) also reduced the growth under non-saline conditions, in the presence of sodium chloride (100 mM) fresh weight, dry weight and leaf area per plant were promoted particularly when sprayed with PMA at 50 μM. Both net photosynthesis and transpiration were reduced by PMA but the reduction was greater in the absence rather than the presence of NaCl. Furthermore PMA lowered shoot sodium contents and promoted the selectivity for K over Na under saline conditions. Any beneficial effects of PMA are the consequences of improved water relations, lowered ion content and increased leaf area for photosynthesis.
