Salinity negatively influences crop growth, but several salt-tolerant plant species (halophytes) are viable crops. Sarcocornia fruticosa (ecotypes EL and VM) is currently cultivated, there demand for new candidates higher biomass production. Salicornia brachiata Roxb. Arthrocneum macrostachyum L. considered novel crops, to realize their potential, response salinity nitrogen nutrition was compar...

Freezing point depression in xylem sap of mangroves was found to range from 0.05 to 0.5 degrees , in desert plants from 0.01 to 0.16 degrees . In crush juices from leaves of Batis and Salicornia, 90% or more of the freezing point depression was made up of sodium and chlorine ions; in mangroves they constituted 50 to 70%, the rest probably being organic solutes. Plants growing in seawater have -...

production of beneficial halophytes such as kochia (kochia scoparia) using saline waters and soils is one of the most sustainable methods of conservation in desert ecosystems. kochia is one of the most common annual halophytes grown in iran. seed germination of four ecotypes of kochia in saline conditions was carried out using factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates...

Increasing salinization threatens the normal growth of halophytes in saline habitats, especially at seedling stage. Soil beneficial microorganisms have potential to promote salt tolerance halophytes, but less attention has been paid various responses between different with microbial inoculations. Here we performed pot experiments assess Nitraria tangutorum Bobr. and Elaeagnus angustifolia Linn....
