Na+ tolerance mechanisms can be organized into cell-level tolerance mechanisms and whole-plant tolerance mechanisms.

reflecting adaptations at two major levels of organization: those that confer tolerance to individual cells, and those that contribute to tolerance not of cells per se, but of the whole plant
Management of Na+ movements within the plant is an important contributor to salt tolerance under many conditions.
Quoted textsource-backed
Salt-tolerant cells can contribute to salt tolerance of plants; but we suggest that equally important in a wide range of conditions are processes involving the management of Na(+) movements within the plant.
Mechanisms of Na+ tolerance vary substantially across taxa.
Quoted textsource-backed
mechanisms of tolerance show large taxonomic variation
Na+ tolerance in higher plants is mediated by multiple concurrent adaptations spanning morphology, membrane transport, biochemistry, and gene transcription.
Quoted textsource-backed
Tolerance to high soil [Na(+)] involves processes in many different parts of the plant, and is manifested in a wide range of specializations at disparate levels of organization, such as gross morphology, membrane transport, biochemistry and gene transcription. Multiple adaptations to high [Na(+)] operate concurrently within a particular plant.
