The effect of sodium chloride (NaCI), sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4 ), and potassium chloride (KCI) on growth and ion concentrations of faba bean (Vicia faba L. cv. Troy) was studied. After 14 or 15 d of isoosmotic treatment with 100 mM NaCl or 75 mM Na 2 SO 4 , respectively, plants developed toxicity symptoms. These symptoms were characterized by local and nonchlorotic wilting spots, which later turned to black, necrotic spots. In contrast to NaCI or Na 2 SO 4 treatment, plants treated with 100 mM KCI did not show these symptoms. The symptoms occurred on those leaves that accumulated highest concentrations of Na+ and showed highest Na+: K+ ratios. Our results indicate that Na+ toxicity inducing K+ deficiency is responsible for the spot necrosis of faba bean. Additionally, chlorotic symptoms occurred. The concentrations of Na+ and CI- were determined in chlorotic leaves and in isolated chloroplasts. The reduction of chlorophyll in leaves after NaCI exposure may be explained in terms of high CI- concentrations in the chloroplasts and appears to depend on high Na+ concentrations. Chlorotic toxicity symptoms can be avoided by additional Mg 2 + application.
