Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Cl- concentrations in different plant parts and some physiological characteristics under NaCl treatment in solution culture were determined to investigate the salt resistance of sago palm. Seedlings at the 8th or 9th leaf stage were used for the treatment of 342mM (2%) NaCl in a phytotron at 30°C and 75% relative humidity under natural sunlight in mid summer in central Japan. Sago palm maintained a low Na+ concentration in the leaflets of active leaves at higher positions eventually, by storing Na+ mainly in the roots and the petioles at lower positions under the NaCl treatment applied for 31 days. The Na+ concentrations in the large roots were lower in the stele than in the cortex under the NaCl treatment, which suggested that the endodermis possessed a mechanism to restrict the excess influx of Na+ from the cortex into the stele. Based on X-ray micro-analysis, a dense distribution of Na was observed around the endodermis of the large roots. The changes in the Na+ concentration in the roots and leaves did not affect the K+ distribution to the leaflets and petioles. The effect of the increase of the Na+ concentration in the seedlings on Ca2+ and Mg2+ distribution to the leaflets was small. Regardless of the remarkable decrease in the transpiration rate and slight delay in the emergence of new leaves with the NaCl treatment, there was no significant difference in dry matter weight of the leaflets and petioles at each leaf position. It was, therefore, considered that salt resistance of sago palm might be due to salt avoidance to mechanically restrict an excess of Na distribution in plant tissues and also to maintain the water status in the leaves by restricting the transpiration.
