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

Table 5

Effect of NaCl stress on the ratios of K⁺/Na⁺ in different parts of seedlings.

Materials	Treatment	Roots	Stems	Middle leaves	Upper leaves
A. scoparia	CK	6.85±0.28a	4.56±0.08b	4.81±0.09a	8.81±0.27b
	NaCl	0.38±0.02c	0.82±0.00c	0.86±0.01c	0.90±0.03d
A. vulgaris “Variegate”	CK	2.68±0.18b	7.10±0.54a	4.31±0.23a	13.91±0.24a
	NaCl	0.34±0.03c	0.91±0.03c	2.26±0.17b	3.56±0.09c

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.
