Figure 4
Transpiration rates of control (A) and salt stressed (B) A. donax plants measured at different sampling times: 1, 18 and 24 dpi (see Fig. 3). Black circles indicate measurements collected from the 2nd leaf (apical leaf) and white circles indicate measurements collected form the 5th leaf form the top (basal leaf). Values are means ± standard errors (n = 4). Shapiro–Wilk test was applied to confirm normal distribution of data. Statistically significant differences between means of either apical or basal leaves of control- and salt-stressed plants are indicated by (*) (P < 0.05).
