Fig. S12 Photosynthetic inhibition in NaCl-treated Carrizo and Cleopatra rootstocks. Different gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters are presented in control and NaCl-treated seedlings. Photosynthetic efficiency data are mean values of eight independent measurements ± standard errors. Fluorescence quantum yield in light- adapted leaves (FPSII) are mean values of 36 independent measurements ± standard errors
