Biophysical and biochemical constraints imposed by salt stress: learning from halophytes
Soil salinization is one of the most important factors impacting plant productivity. About 3.6 billion of the world's 5.2 billion ha of agricultural dry land, have already suffered erosion, degradation, and salinization. Halophytes are typically considered as plants able to complete their life cycle in environments where the salt concentration is above 200 mM NaCl. Salinity adjustment is a comp...
متن کاملBiophysical and Biochemical Markers of Metal/Metalloid-Impacts in Salt Marsh Halophytes and Their Implications
As a major sink, estuarine/salt marsh ecosystem can receive discharges laden with myriads of contaminants including metals/metalloids from man-made activities. Two among the major consequences of metal/metalloid-exposure in estuarine/salt marsh ecosystem flora such as halophytic plants are: (a) the excessive accumulation of light energy that in turn leads to severe impairments in the photosyste...
متن کاملHalophytes: Potential Resources for Salt Stress Tolerance Genes and Promoters
Halophytes have demonstrated their capability to thrive under extremely saline conditions and thus considered as one of the best germplasm for saline agriculture. Salinity is a worldwide problem, and the salt-affected areas are increasing day-by-day because of scanty rainfall, poor irrigation system, salt ingression, water contamination, and other environmental factors. The salinity stress tole...
متن کاملMorphological, Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Rhizobia from Halophytes of Khewra Salt Range and Attock
Present investigation was aimed to isolate and characterize plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (Rhizobia) from rhizosphere (EC: 2300 μS/cm; pH: 8.6) of four halophytes: Sonchus arvensis L., (sow thistle), Solanum surratense Burm. F., (yellow berried night shade), Lactuca dissecta D. Don., (wild lettuce) and Chrysopogon aucheri (Boiss.) Stapf (golden beared grass) collected from Khewra Salt Ra...
متن کاملImproving Effects of Salicylic Acid on Morphological, Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Salt-imposed Winter Jasmine
To investigate the positive effects of salicylic acid (SA) on morphological and biochemical traits of salinity stress-imposed winter jasmine, an experiment was conducted in a research greenhouse. The experiment was conducted using a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four levels of salinity stress (2, 4, 6, and 8 dS.m-1) as the first factor and different levels of S...
