Increasing salinity is one of the major drawbacks for plant growth. Besides the ion itself being toxic to plant cells, it greatly interferes with the supply of other macronutrients like potassium, calcium and magnesium. However, little is known about how sodium affects the translocation of these nutrients from the root to the shoot. The major driving force of this translocation process is thought to be the water flow through the xylem driven by transpiration. To dissect the effects of transpiration from those of salinity we compared salt stressed, ABA treated and combined salt- and ABA treated poplars with untreated controls. Salinity reduced the root content of major nutrients like K.sup.+, Ca.sup.2+ and Mg.sup.2+ . Less Ca.sup.2+ and Mg.sup.2+ in the roots resulted in reduced leaf Ca.sup.2+ and leaf Mg.sup.2+ levels due to reduced stomatal conductance and reduced transpiration. Interestingly, leaf K.sup.+ levels were positively affected in leaves under salt stress although there was less K.sup.+ in the roots under salt. In response to ABA, transpiration was also decreased and Mg.sup.2+ and Ca.sup.2+ levels decreased comparably to the salt stress treatment, while K.sup.+ levels were not affected. Thus, our results suggest that loading and retention of leaf K.sup.+ is enhanced under salt stress compared to merely transpiration driven cation supply.
