Morphological, Physiological, and Structural Responses of Two Species of Artemisia to NaCl Stress

Table 1

Effects of NaCl stress on Na⁺ content in different organs of A. scoparia and A. vulgaris “Variegate.”

Cultivars	Treatment	Na^+ content (mg⋅g^−1 dry weight)
		Roots	Stems	Middle leaves	Upper leaves
A. scoparia	CK	8.10±0.30b	17.97±0.54c	13.39±0.59c	8.28±0.27c
	NaCl	67.52±2.18a	73.39±2.21a	70.17±1.58a	78.37±1.94a
	NaCl : CK	8.34	4.08	5.24	9.46
A. vulgaris “Variegate”	CK	14.04±0.52b	9.03±0.51d	13.68±0.36c	5.40±0.15c
	NaCl	65.61±2.75a	57.38±2.04b	28.61±1.50b	21.04±0.72b
	NaCl : CK	4.67	6.35	2.09	3.90

Values (mean ± standard errors) with the different letters in the same line are significantly different at 𝑃<0.05 by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test. CK: 0 mmol⋅L⁻¹ NaCl treatment; NaCl: 200 mmol⋅L⁻¹ NaCl treatment.
