NaCl treatment cell morphology. (A) NPCD cells at 0 h of the 100 mM NaCl treatment. (B) NPCD cells at 6 h of 100 mM NaCl treatment. Chloroplasts have taken on a ‘wrinkled’ appearance. (C) NCPD cells at 0 h of 400 mM NaCl treatment. (D) Dead NPCD cells following 400 mM NaCl treatment. There is no PM retraction at cell death. (E) NPCD cells at 0 h of 2 M NaCl treatment. (F) Dead NPCD cells following 2 M NaCl treatment. Note that PM retraction occurs. (A-F) N– nucleus, C– chloroplast, Va– vacuole, Ve– vesicle, white arrow– tonoplast, black arrow– PM. Scale bars: A-F = 15 μm.
