On the under epidermis and petiole epidermis of Sophora flavescens Ait. is founded salt gland which has a secretory cell and a basal cell for the first time.

首次在苦参叶的下表皮及叶柄的表皮上发现了盐腺。 该盐腺由一个头细胞和一个基细胞构成。

Silicon could also increase potassium content of plants under salt stress, as a result increased K/Na selectiviy. Silicon could also improve zoysiagrass sodium secreation of salt gland.

硅对上述植物耐盐性的提高主要是通过增加高羊茅根系对钠的积累，降低地上部钠的含量，改善盐胁迫下植物的钾素营养，提高植株体内钾钠选择比，对结缕草来说，加硅还能够促进叶片盐腺的泌盐量。
