Ultrastructural Effects of Salinity in Higher Plants

  • Chapter
Salinity: Environment - Plants - Molecules

Abstract

Salinity leads to structural and ultrastructural effects, particularly in salt-sensitive species. Some of them are indicative of the onset of injury, for example the aggregation of chloroplasts accompanied by a swelling in the granal and fret compartments or the complete distortion of chloroplastic grana and thylakoid structures. Others are associated with metabolic acclimation to salinity stress. For instance increased density of mitochondria, enhanced ATPase particle frequencies in membranes may be related to enhanced energy demand at moderate salinity. Salinity-induced ultrastructural changes, such as the build up of transfer cells and many small vesicles, may be a sign of extensive exchange of substances across membranes. Several examples of structural adjustment of halophytic and glycophytic plant species will be presented in this chapter.
