| Abstract/Contents: | "Ten seashore paspalum ecotypes (Paspalum vaginatum Swarts) were selected based on their salinity tolerance of least to highest from a previous study of 94 ecotypes, and were investigated to define the associated mechanisms under solution/sand culture in a greenhouse. Turfgrasses were grown in nutrition solution added with sea salt formula to give 6 EC levels (1.2 to 49.7dSmā»Ā¹). Ranges of shoot growth values were: Threshold EC (dSmā»Ā¹), 1.2 to 17.9; EC50% (EC for 50% growth reduction; dSmā»Ā¹), 28.4 to 41.7; Inherent growth rate (accumulated g DW for 58 days under control), 13.6 to 17.2. Ranges for root growth were: Threshold EC, 1.2 to 30.7; EC50%, 45.7 to >49.7; Inherent growth, 3.12 to 4.54. Ranges for crown were: Threshold EC, 1.2 to 23.1; EC50%, 49.1 to >49.7; Inherent growth, 33.3 to 45.8. For total growth, ranges were: Threshold EC, 1.2 to 20.5; EC50%, 45.8 to >49.7; Inherent growth, 51.1 to 63.7. Photosynthetic parameters (chlorophyll content and fluorescence), stress indexes based on spectral reflectance, water status (water potential, relative water content), ion uptake, and osmolytes (glycine betaine, trigonelline, sugar alcohols) were investigated and will be discussed as realted to mechanism for salinity tolerance." |
