| Abstract: | Two creeping bentgrass clones having contrasting salinity tolerance collected from a salinity tolerant population were examined for growth responses and ion uptake under NaCl stressed conditions. The two clones showed differences in dry weight partitioning and morphological changes under salt stress. The clone with greater salt tolerance has greater ion partitioning differences in Na, Na/K and Cl levels between organ tissues. |
