Abstract The structure assigned for these products were established based on analytical. 1 H-NMR , Ms and ?c NMR data Both sodium and chloride were accumulated in shoots and roots. The amount of chloride accumulated exceeded that of sodium in both maize lines. Potassium concentration were almost constant in shoots but decreased drastically in roots of both maize lines under salinity. There was no obvious changes in calcium and magnesium contents in shoots and roots, but with slight trend to decrease under salinity in both maize lines. Both lines had no problems in taking up phosphate and sulphate under salinity. In fact, sulphate and phosphate concentrations were increased under salinity. Under salinity, free hexoses were accumulated in shoots, but remained constant in roots. Sucrose levels in shoots increased 5 to 10- fold under salt stress, indicating some contribution to osmotic adaptation. Glycinebetaine and some amino acids, especially proline, glycine, serine, asparagine. |
