Does night-time transpiration provide any benefit to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants which are exposed to salt stress?

The study aimed to test whether night-time transpiration provides any potential benefit to wheat plants which are subjected to salt stress. Hydroponically grown wheat plants were grown at four levels of salt stress (50, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl) for 5-8 days prior to harvest (day 14-18). Salt stress caused large decreases in transpiration and leaf elongation rates during day and night.
