Grafting onto salt-tolerant pumpkin rootstock can increase cucumber salt tolerance. Previous studies have suggested that this can be attributed to pumpkin roots with higher capacity to limit the transport of Na+ to the shoot than cucumber roots. However, the mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the transport of Na+ in salt-tolerant pumpkin and salt-sensitive cucumber plants under high (200mM) or moderate (90mM) NaCl stress. Scanning ion-selective electrode technique showed that pumpkin roots exhibited a higher capacity to extrude Na+, and a correspondingly increased H+ influx under 200 or 90mMNaCl stress. The 200mMNaCl induced Na+/H+ exchange in the root was inhibited by amiloride (a Na+/H+ antiporter inhibitor) or vanadate [a plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase inhibitor], indicating that Na+ exclusion in salt stressed pumpkin and cucumber roots was the result of an active Na+/H+ antiporter across the PM, and the Na+/H+ antiporter system in salt stressed pumpkin roots was sufficient to exclude Na+. X-ray microanalysis showed higher Na+ in the cortex, but lower Na+ in the stele of pumpkin roots than that in cucumber roots under 90mMNaCl stress, suggesting that the highly vacuolated root cortical cells of pumpkin roots could sequester more Na+, limit the radial transport of Na+ to the stele and thus restrict the transport of Na+ to the shoot. These results provide direct evidence for pumpkin roots with higher capacity to limit the transport of Na+ to the shoot than cucumber roots.
