Resumen:
Leaves in salinized P. coloratum plants were shorter than
in non-salinized controls essentially because the number
of cells in the meristem was negatively affected. This
was partially due to a lower mitosis rate in that zone, and,
additionally, perhaps fewer cells may have left the basal
meristem to conform the leaf primordium. Though leaf
elongation rates were lower in salt treated plants, cells
remained longer in the expansion-only zone, which may
have buffered in part the reduced leaf expansion rate.
Mechanisms underlying the control of cell divisions and
the prolongation of cell expansion duration are implied in
the effects of soil salinity on leaf expansion in this
species
