Salt‐sensitive glycophytes and salt‐tolerant halophytes employ common mechanisms to
cope with salinity, and it is hypothesized that differences in salt tolerance arise because of …

We investigated the effects of salinity on ion accumulation and expression of candidate salt
tolerance genes in the highly tolerant salt accumulating halophyte Salicornia dolichostachya …

The contribution of SOS1 (for Salt Overly Sensitive 1), encoding a sodium/proton antiporter,
to plant salinity tolerance was analyzed in wild-type and RNA interference (RNAi) lines of …

The plasma membrane Na+/H+‐antiporter salt overly sensitive1 (SOS1) from the halophytic
Arabidopsis‐relative Thellungiella halophila (ThSOS1) shows conserved sequence and …

Crop productivity strongly depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Salinity is one of the
most important abiotic factors, besides drought, extreme temperatures, light and metal …

Halophytes are able to thrive in salt concentrations that would kill 99% of other plant
species, and identifying their salt-adaptive mechanisms has great potential for improving the …

The eco-physiology of salt tolerance, with an emphasis on K+ nutrition and proline
accumulation, was investigated in the halophyte Thellungiella halophila and in both wild …

Halophytes of the lower coastal salt marsh show increased salt tolerance, and under high
salinity they grow faster than upper marsh species. We could not show reduced growth rate …

Background Most of the water on Earth is seawater, each kilogram of which contains about
35 g of salts, and yet most plants cannot grow in this solution; less than 0· 2% of species can …

Halophytes are plants that exhibit high salt tolerance, allowing them to survive and thrive
under extremely saline conditions. The study of halophytes advances our understanding …
