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...

This study was aimed at understanding the role of sulfolipids in salt tolerance mechanisms of the halophytes Aster tripolium L., Compositae, and Sesuvium portulacastrum L., Aizoaceae, and of the glycophyte Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., Brassicaceae. In Aster and Sesuvium the sulfolipid contents increased significantly under salt stress conditions (517 mM or 864 mM). In Arabidopsis, changes ...

The growth of the aquaculture industry has been associated with negative environmental impacts through the discharge of raw effluents into the adjacent receiving water bodies. Macrophytes from natural saline lakes, which have adaptability to the high salinity, can be suitable for saline effluent treatment. Eight emergent species from natural saline area were planted in an experimental gravel be...

The DUF1644 family is a highly conserved and functionally unknown protein it has been demonstrated that significantly improved the salt tolerance of rice (non-halophytes). However, little understood about function gene in halophytes. This study aimed to investigate whether similar non-halophytes as halophytic species. functions ZmDUF1644 transferred from Zoysia matrella into non-halophytic Arab...

introduction: this study was carried out to determine elements (li, na, k, mg, ca, ba, b, al, si, v, cr, mn, fe, co, ni, cu, zn, se, ag and p) in the suaeda vermiculata (s. vermiculata) and suaeda aegyptiaca (s. aegyptiaca) in three different regions of southern iran using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (icp-oes) after microwave-assisted acid digestion. materials and m...

vetiver grass is known to survive under diverse soil and water conditions. in order to test its potential of salinity and aridity tolerance ability, the effect of salinity and aridity stress on the growth of the vetiveria zizanioides was studied by growing plants in arid soils that receiving salinity stress. the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, arrangement in a completely randomized de...
