Abstract:The uptake and transport of salt ions (Na+, Cl-), macronutrients (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+) and abscisic acid (ABA) response to increasing soil salinity were examined in 2-year-old seedlings of Populus euphratica and a hybrid, P. talassica Kom 2 (P. euphratica + Salix alba L.). Leaf burn symptoms appeared in the hybrid after 8 days of exposure to salinity when soil NaCl concentration increased to 206 mM, whereas P. euphratica exhibited leaf damage after day 21 when soil NaCl exceeded 354 mM. Leaf necrosis was the result of excess salt accumulation since the injury followed an abrupt increase of endogenous salt levels. Compared with the hybrid, P. euphratica exhibited a greater capacity to exclude salt ions from leaves under increasing salinity, especially Cl-. Salt treatment altered nutrient balance of the hybrid, leaf K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations significantly declined and the same trends were observed in roots with the exception of K+. Although K+ levels decreased in salinised P. euphratica, increasing salinity did not affect the levels of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in leaves, but did increase the uptake of these nutrients when salt stress was initiated. NaCl-induced increase of ABA concentration in xylem sap ABA] was observed in the two tested genotypes, however xylem ABA] increased more rapidly in P. euphratica and a fivefold increase of xylem ABA] was recorded after the first day of exposure to salt stress. Therefore, we conclude that the increase of Ca2+ uptake may be associated with the rise of ABA, and thus contributes to membrane integrity maintenance, which enables P. euphratica to regulate uptake and transport of salt ions under high levels of external salinity in the longer term.
