To better understand the mechanism of salt tolerance, we analyzed cotton growth and the ionomes in different tissues under different types of salt–alkali stress. Cotton was exposed to the soil salt and alkali stresses, NaCl, Na 2 SO 4 , and Na 2 CO 3  + NaHCO 3 , in a pot study. Salt and alkali stre...
