Purpose This paper reviews chemical, physical, and biological problems of salt-affected
soils and different reclamation methods applied to rehabilitate these soils. Methods Methods …

The world's food production will need to increase by up to 70% by 2050 to match the
predicted population growth. Achieving this goal will be challenging due to the decreased …

Increasing soil salinization and the growing scarcity of fresh water dictate the need for a
creative solution to attain sustainable crop production. To accomplish this aim, the …

The increasing problem of global land salinisation and associated multibillion dollar losses
in crop production require a better understanding of key physiological mechanisms …

Greenhouse and field trials and nutritional studies are reviewed for three halophytes that are
candidate species for salt-water crop production. Salicornia bigelovii is a leafless, C3 …

Salinization of agricultural land is an increasing problem. Because of their high tolerance to
salinity, Salicornia spp. could become models to study salt tolerance; they also represent …

Plants and bacteria respond to hyperosmotic stress by an increase in intracellular
osmolality, adjusting their cell turgor to altered growth conditions. This can be achieved …

Excessive sodium (salt) intake in our diet is a main contributor to hypertension and a major
risk factor for cardiovascular illnesses. As a result, research has made great efforts to …

The euhalophyte species Salicornia europaea is cultivated for oilseed and as a fodder crop
in various parts of the world. In saline coastal environments it possesses great potential for …

The gradual increase in the amount of land and water resources affected by salt in arid and
semi-arid regions requires strategies to optimize the use of these marginal-quality …
