Responses of carrot to salinity
A large root to shoot ratio, minimal retention of Cl- in the root system and high affinity for Cl- uptake at low (1-7 mM) salinity result in the accumulation of high (up to 200 mM) Cl- concentrations in the shoots of carrot. In this context, Gibberd et al. (pp. 715-724) examine how growth and leaf gas exchange of carrot respond to saline irrigation.
