Cytometric aspects of the leaves of the halophyte Suaeda maritima
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 11:32 authored by M A Hajibagheri, Tim Flowers, J L HallAn analysis of the frequency of occurrence of chloroplasts, mitochondria and microbodies in leaf cells of the halophyte Sueda maritima (L.) Dum, showed a remarkable increase (almost a doubling) in the number of mitochondria per cell section when plants were grown in saline (340 mol m-3 NaCl) as opposed to non-saline conditions. Chloroplast and microbody volume per cell increased under saline conditions, but number per cell was insensitive to salt. Chloroplasts contained a greater number of starch grains in plants grown under saline as compared to non-saline conditions and, under both conditions, were closely associated with the cell wall adjacent to the intercellular spaces. The implications for growth, photosynthesis and respiration are discussed.
