From Halophyte Research to Halophytes Farming

2014
The need for halophytes in saline agriculture is rising, as the increasing population seeks to feed itself with ever-decreasing soil sources and dwindling freshwater supplies. Two main steps are needed to establish sustainable halophyte farming: (i) the selection of an economically important and ecologically relevant halophyte and (ii) the development ...

Halophytes and halophytic plant communities in Inner-Asia

1994
The geographic region of Inner-Asia is located in the hinterland far away from the ocean. It is surrounded by mountains and has a typical temperate continental climate with aridity as the basic characteristic. The lowland is a salt accumulating centre.

Salt regulation in halophytes

Oecologia, 1975
Ion concentration and saturation water content were measured in various aged leaves of halophytes growing in saline soils east of lake Neusiedlersee (Austria).All species investigated showed a substantial sodium accumulation within the maturing organs accompanied by a considerable potassium decline.

Energy in Halophytes

2022
In climatically unfavorable regions, the animals often consume the only available feed resource, i.e., halophytic plants. It was noticed that whenever halophytes are solely fed to animals, they need energy supplementation. Halophytic plant species vary greatly with respect to their chemical composition and nutritive value.

Classification of Halophytes

2022
Halophytes are a small group of higher plants. They represent about 1% of the world’s flora. There is no unanimous consensus on a distinct definition of halophytes. This is because of the taxonomic and ecological complexities of halophytes as well as their heterogeneity.

Lipids in Halophytes

2022
Some halophytes are good sources of oil production for human consumption. However, lipids in halophytes have vital functions with respect to their adaptation to conditions of high salinity. They play an active role in cell membrane selective permeability to toxic ions.

Proteins in Halophytes

2022
Proteins are an important nutrient for all animal species as they are a primary component of all body tissues as well as fluids and vital organs. In evaluating proteins present in halophytes as dietary nutrients, one should take several issues into consideration (ie.

Cultivation of halophyte plants

American Journal Of Agriculture And Horticulture Innovations
Halophyte plants, which thrive in saline environments, offer sustainable solutions to soil salinization, waterscarcity, and climate change. This article examines their benefits, cultivation techniques, economic significance, and challenges. Halophytes contribute to soil reclamation, biofuel production, and food security

Physiology of halophytes

Plant and Soil, 1985
The cellular basis of salt tolerance in halophytes depends upon the compartmentation of ions necessary for osmoregulation in vacuoles and upon osmotic adjustment of the cytoplasm by compatible solutes. The central role played by Na+ and Cl− in osmotic adjustment suggests that the transport of these ions and its regulation must be of primary importance ...
