Mild salt stress conditions induce different responses in root hydraulic conductivity of phaseolus vulgaris over-time.

Plants respond to salinity by altering their physiological parameters in order to maintain their water balance. The reduction in root hydraulic conductivity is one of the first responses of plants to the presence of salt in order to minimize water stress. Although its regulation has been commonly at...
