Conclusion

Conclusion:

Increased salt concentration in A. thaliana plants causes poor growth as predicted.

Under very low concentrations (25 mM) there seems to be better plant growth, suggesting that this is the optimum salt concentration for plant growth.

There appears to be correlations between:
- Better growth of plants under low salt stress and ethylene overproduction
- Abscisic acid, brassinosteroids and auxin appear to interact with ethylene
- Brassinosteroids seem to have an inverse relationship with ethylene, however further
- studies need to be carried out.
