Salinity strongly decreases the plant weight (fresh and dry) and the plant water status (Leaf Water Potential (LWP), Stomatal conductance (gs), Relative water content (RWC). The analysis of the Photosystem II (PSII) function disruption indicates that salt stress induced an electron transport inhibition at the donor side of the PSII due to the Oxygen-Evolving Complex (OEC) inactivation (positive-K-band) and reduced the PSII unit\u2019s energetic connectivity (positive-L-band). The evaluation of the rate reduction of the end electron acceptor at the Photosystem I (PSI) side revealed that salt stress resulted in gradual decreases in the reduction rates. Nevertheless, the exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) allowed plants to maintain a high weight\/length value with a significant improvement in plant water status. Chlorophyll<jats:italic>-a<\/jats:italic> fluorescence analysis shows that SA application improved at the donor side of electron transport (lower intensity of the K and L-band), with a larger pool size under the combination of 0.5 mM SA and high salt stress levels applications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>These results suggest that the salt stress significantly affects the PSII by the inactivation of the OEC and decreasing the PSII unit\u2019s connectivity.
