The deposition of salts in soil seems likely to become a significant barrier for plant
development and growth. Halophytes that flourish in naturally saline habitats may sustain …

Understanding salt tolerance mechanisms in halophytes is critical for improving the world's
agriculture under climate change scenarios. Herein, the physiological and metabolic …

Few plants can survive and grow equally well in salty and salt-free substrates (ie, habitat-
indifferent halophytes). Such plants provide a good opportunity to understand physiological …

Suaeda fruticosa Forssk is a leaf succulent obligate halophyte that produces numerous
seeds under saline conditions. Seeds are a good source of high quality edible oil and …

Due to irrigation practices and industrial pollution, large areas of the lands in the world are
simultaneously affected by salinity and heavy metal contamination. It has been considered …

Salinization of agricultural land is a devastating phenomenon which will affect future food
security. Understanding how plants survive and thrive in response to salinity is therefore …

Suaeda vera is a succulent halophyte that colonizes hypersaline soils. Ecotypic variability is
extremely high. Plant roots are the first line of defense and respond instantly to soil salinity …

Studies on obligate halophytes combining eco-physiological techniques and proteomic
analysis are crucial for understanding salinity tolerance mechanisms but are limited. We …

Sesuvium portulacastrum, a dicotyledonous halophyte of Aizoaceae family, is a perennial
psammophile and potentially useful for the environment protection, eg sand dune fixation …

Background As important components in saline agriculture, halophytes can help to provide
food for a growing world population. In addition to being potential crops in their own right …
