Halophyte microbiome contributes significantly to plant performance and can provide information regarding complex ecological processes involved in osmoregulation of these plants. The objective of this study is to investigate the microbiomes associated with belowground (rhizosphere), internal (endosphere) and aboveground (phyllosphere) tissues of halophyte (Salsola stocksii) through metagenomics...

Hymenoclea salsola, Asteraceae, Resin Flavonoids, 2',4',6 'OH Chalcone Hymenoclea salsola (Asteraceae), a dominant shrub of the desert areas of California and Baja California, Mexico, secretes high amounts of resin on the leaf surface. Chemi­ cal analysis of the resin revealed the presence of a complex mixture of flavonoid aglycones. Among the compounds identified is the rare 2',4',6'-OH chalco...

Exposure of wheat (Triticum durum L.) to NaCl (100 and 200 mM) showed that this variety is moderately halo tolerant. Germination rates in the absence and presence of salt (100 and 200 mM) are respectively 98.3, 83.3 and 53.3%. The supply of Salsola vermiculata and the combination between this halophyte and Streptomyces sp. SF5 affected germination significantly. Germination rates in the absence...

BACKGROUND Sensitivity to Salsola kali is a frequent cause of allergic respiratory disease in various regions of Spain. However, there are very few articles in which this allergen has been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS In order to evaluate the tolerance of this extract, a prospective study has been performed. This study was observational, multi-centred and open, involving 88 patients with alle...
