Annual sweetcJover (Melilotus segetalis (Brot.) Ser. plants from the Guadalquivir salt marsh (S.W. Spain) were grown in a glasshouse, on sandy soil with nutrient solution and four salt treatments (O, 10, 50 and 100 mM NaC!). Plants (five replicates per treatment and age) were harvested at 50, 90 and 120 days after germinatíon. Sodium, chloride and potassium were determined for each plant in leaves, stems and roots. Total dry weight reduction with salinity was associated with increasing levels
