Abstract: 
When A. nitens and A. halimus were salt-treated with 500 mM NaCl for more than 5 days the former showed growth depression with some symptoms of salt damage on the oldest leaves but A. halimus plants did not. Vesiculation in the mesophyll cells of control plants of both species was present but was not a common feature. Vesiculation was also not a prominent feature in mesophyll cells of salt-treated A. nitens. However, it was possible to demonstrate that mesophyll cells of salt-treated A. halimus show high vesiculation giving rise to vesicles of different sizes in all parts of the cell. The significance of this phenomenon in salt-treated plants and its relationship to symplastic transport and salt tolerance is proposed and discussed.
