salinity is known as one of the most challenging problems in aquaculture and agriculture. this issue has posed more difficulties to the shoreline of the persian gulf. halophyte plants with their high potentials of absorbing salinity from soil and water are able to enhance the biopurification process in the environment. hydroponic is a biointegrated food production method which links recirculati...

Chloride (Cl-) has been related to increased phytoavailability of cadmium (Cd) in soil. A glasshouse experiment using a historically contaminated soil was undertaken to evaluate the effect of chloride on Cd uptake by salt-tolerant plants and possibly quantify the uptake of discrete Cd species (e.g. Cd2+, CdCl+, CdCl(0)2). Chloride treatments were applied as 100 mM NaCl and compared with equival...

Abstract Background The CIPKs are a group of plant-specific Ser/Thr protein kinases acting in response to calcium signaling, which plays an important role the physiological and developmental adaptation plants adverse environments. However, functions halophyte-derived CIPK s still poorly understood, that limits potential application from halophytes for improving tolerance glycophytes abiotic str...
