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

Table 3

Effects of NaCl stress on Ca²⁺ content in different organs of A. scoparia and A. vulgaris “Variegate.”

Cultivars	Treatment	Ca^2+ content (mg⋅g^−1 dry weight)
		Roots	Stems	Middle leaves	Upper leaves
A. scoparia	CK	18.51±0.66c	32.67±1.76a	32.54±1.99a	22.56±1.25a
	NaCl	11.73±0.64d	23.56±0.88bc	36.27±0.97a	29.53±1.15a
	NaCl : CK	0.63	0.72	1.11	1.31
A. vulgaris “Variegate”	CK	62.89±2.01a	31.44±1.96ab	31.61±1.21a	22.85±1.48a
	NaCl	48.03±1.53b	21.26±1.44c	32.79±1.85a	25.02±0.92a
	NaCl : CK	0.76	0.68	1.04	1.09

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.
