Halophytes are diverse group of plants with tolerance to high salinity due to specific
mechanisms of salt uptake and tolerance. Saline areas are being affected by heavy metal …

Heavy metals are present in low concentration in soil as their natural constituents. However
various anthropogenic, industrial activities and agricultural practices have resulted in an …

Halophytic plants are known to be capable to adapt themselves to harsh conditions such as
high salt and inorganic ion concentration (heavy metals), xerothermic atmosphere, improper …

Metabolic processes, such as photosynthesis and respiration, lead to the generation of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a side product. Chloroplasts, mitochondria, peroxisomes …

Being the native flora of saline soil, halophytes are well studied for their salt tolerance and
adaptation mechanism at the physiological, biochemical, molecular and metabolomic levels …
