Salicornia cells area dimension under different salinity levels by image analysis

The Salicornia europaea cells were image analysed through different salinity treatments 0, 200, 400, 600, and 1000 mM; many repetitions were performed. The population analysed correspond to Salicornia europaea growing in Inowrocław city in Poland. This analysis aimed to determine differences between cell dimensions influenced by different salinity environments. Na+ mainly accumulates in the parenchyma/endodermis cells and vacuoles, causing swelling in the cells.GENERAL INFORMATIONTitle of Dataset: Salicornia cells Area under salinity levelsAuthor/Principal Investigator InformationName: Stefany Cardenas PerezORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3919-3498Institution: Department of Geobotany and Landscape Planning, Faculty of Biological and Veterinary Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University in TorunAddress: Lwowska 1, 87-100 Torun, Poland Email: [e-mail]-investigator InformationName: Agnieszka PiernikORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0800-5266Institution: Department of Geobotany and Landscape Planning, Faculty of Biological and Veterinary Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University in TorunAddress: Lwowska 1, 87-100 Torun, Poland Email: [e-mail] of data collection: 04.2023 Geographic location of data collection: PolandInformation about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: National Science Center 2021/43/D/NZ8/01137SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATIONLicenses/restrictions placed on the data: CC0DATA & FILE OVERVIEW1. Salicornia cells Area under salinity levelsMETHODOLOGICAL INFORMATIONFrom the fleshy segment stem of the middle primary branch of S. europaea plant treatments (0, 200, 400, 600, and 1000 mM NaCl) , thin slices (0.5 mm) of fresh tissue were obtained using a bi-shave razor blade (Cardenas-Perez et al., 2022). They were observed through a light microscope (LM) (Olympus BX51, USA) and a digital camera (DP72 digital microscope camera). The area (A), were obtained from the fresh stem-cortex cells of the water-storing parenchymaMethods for processing the data: the data was performed using FIJI ImageJ v. 1.47DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Salicornia cells Area under salinity levelsNumber of variables: 5 (salinity treatments)Number of cases/rows: more than 250 for each variable
