Improving cucumber photosynthetic capacity under NaCl stress by grafting onto two salt-tolerant pumpkin rootstocks

Cucumber plants were either self-grafted or grafted onto two salt-tolerant pumpkin rootstocks Chaojiquanwang (Cucurbita moschata Duch), and Figleaf Gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia Bouche). Plants were grown hydroponically in 0, 30, 60, or 90 mM NaCl for 16 d in greenhouse. Salinity induced a smaller decr...
