Carbon dioxide production by seedlings, whole plants and leaves of French bean
and of maize showed progressively greater increases with increasing concentrations
of Na2S04 added to the basal medium. Also, in response to salinization, marked
changes in the total amount and in the relative composition of the nitrogen pool
were observed. Thus, whereas proline as well as amino- and total soluble -N
contents increased, contents of protein- and total -N decreased; the magnitude of
these changes appeared to be a function of the concentration of Na2S04 used.
Irregular changes were observed for ammonia- and nitrate-N
