text: Although these results did not show the direct effects of ACC on plant response to salinity, and some other works revealed that ethylene is not the primary factor in salinity-induced plant growth inhibition (Shibli et al., 2007), it is still possible that ethylene may play a subtle negative role in plant response to salinity, at least at a certain growth stage.
