Quantifying the residual transpiration (RT) from leaves of three different positions in barley. a sampled leaves; b, c RT values measured from leaves of three different positions from 4 barley varieties contrasting in salinity stress tolerance by Method-1 and Method-2, respectively. Data is mean ± SE (n = 6). d mean RT values for plants in salt-tolerant (ZUG293, TX9425) and salt-sensitive (Gairdner, Franklin) groups estimated by two different methods. Data labelled with different lower case letters in panels (b) and (c) are significantly different at P < 0.05
