Cultured plants are exposed to many stresses, and salinity of the most important stresses that affect on plants in many regions of the world.
Dear Ahmed
Salinity is an excess of salts in the plant, soil and/or water. It is an often- underestimated problem in agriculture, as it can often build up over time and persist with sub-clinical effects before it reaches a level where it is noticeable. It is also often confused with sodicity (sodium problems), but it must be recognised that, while the two do often go hand-in-hand, there can be salinity problems without sodium
problems and vice-versa.
best regards
hi ... for the parts ... firstly at germination stage the embryo is the fests affected by salts stress but in the stead post germination is the roots because is the first part of absorption of plants ...all this at sensible plants for the salts stress
The salt stress damage on the plant in the field, appear on the leaves, especially older leaves, as the root be more withstand salt stress and trying hard to prevent the arrival of harmful elements (sodium, chloride, etc.) to shoot.
Root is the first part of plants influence by salinity then affect the rest of plant processes.
The answer of this question is very complicated and really depends on the type of salt examined, as well as, the plant species. In addition to the intensity of salt, if you like, and the duration of exposure. Seems to be the root is the answer, as a first contact part between plant and solute of soil. But to figure out the response, generally, in plant I refer you to the paper attached alongside the comment.
