Exploring the Potentials of Halophytes in Addressing Climate Change-Related Issues: A Synthesis of Their Biological, Environmental, and Socioeconomic Aspects

World
Halophytes are naturally salt-tolerant plants with immense potential to become alternate crops for saline lands. While their economic benefits have gained increasing attention, often, the roles of halophytes in addressing different climate change-related

Environmental change in a Mediterranean salt marsh wetland: ecological drivers of halophytes diversity along flooding frequency gradients

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
Coastal wetlands are among most threatened ecosystems, owing to the intense human activity concentrated in shoreline areas together with the expected sea level rise resultant from climate change.

Metabolic imprint induced by seed halo-priming promotes a differential physiological performance in two contrasting quinoa ecotypes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
“Memory imprint” refers to the process when prior exposure to stress prepares the plant for subsequent stress episodes. Seed priming is a strategy to change the performance of seedlings to cope with stress; however, mechanisms associated with the ...

Seed Priming as an Effective Technique for Enhancing Salinity Tolerance in Plants: Mechanistic Insights and Prospects for Saline Agriculture with a Special Emphasis on Halophytes

Seeds
Seed priming is a simple, inexpensive, and effective pre-sowing technique that enables plants to better tolerate abiotic stresses, including high soil salinity, which is a major limiting factor in the establishment of halophytes for saline agriculture ...

Thriving under Salinity: Growth, Ecophysiology and Proteomic Insights into the Tolerance Mechanisms of Obligate Halophyte Suaeda fruticosa

Plants
Studies on obligate halophytes combining eco-physiological techniques and proteomic analysis are crucial for understanding salinity tolerance mechanisms but are limited. We thus examined growth, water relations, ion homeostasis, photosynthesis, oxidative

The diversity and structure of diazotrophic communities in the rhizosphere of coastal saline plants is mainly affected by soil physicochemical factors but not host plant species

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The diversity and community structure of rhizospheric microbes are largely affected by soil physicochemical properties and plant species. In this work, high throughput sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR targeting nifH gene were used to assess the ...

Redox Priming Ameliorates Salinity Tolerance of Seeds and Seedlings of the Coastal Halophyte Grass Urochondra setulosa

Plants
Low salinity tolerance during germination and early seedling establishment limits large-scale cultivation of halophytes for forage, food, restoration, and conservation purposes.

A Novel Transcriptional Regulator HbERF6 Regulates the HbCIPK2-Coordinated Pathway Conferring Salt Tolerance in Halophytic Hordeum brevisubulatum

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Halophytic Hordeum brevisubulatum is a perennial grass which has evolved many distinctive salt-adaptive mechanisms. Our previous studies indicated it could thrive under salt stress through maintaining better K+ and Na+ homeostasis.

Insights into the salinity tolerance of the succulent halophyte Arthrocnemum macrostachyum: comparative ecophysiology of plants from heteromorphic seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionLittle is known about the similarities and differences in responses of plants grown from heteromorphic seeds, which are morpho-physiologically dissimilar seeds produced simultaneously on the same plant.

A Consortium of Rhizosphere-Competent Actinobacteria Exhibiting Multiple Plant Growth-Promoting Traits Improves the Growth of Avicennia marina in the United Arab Emirates

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Gray mangrove (Avicennia marina) is the dominant vegetation distributed along the coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Despite its performance as natural coastal guardians, very little is known about the reforestation projects to increase mangrove ...
