From Halophyte Research to Halophytes Farming
2014The 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 – A resource for the future
Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2001One of the more urgent global problems, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, is finding enough water and land to support the world’s growing food needs. By some estimates, an additional 500 million acres of new croplands are required over the next thirty years to feed burgeoning populations of the tropics and subtropics.

Halophytes and halophytic plant communities in Inner-Asia
1994The 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.

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.

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.

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.

Interaction of electron acceptors with thylakoids from halophytic and non-halophytic species
Photosynthesis Research, 1988Thylakoid membranes isolated from halophytic species showed differences in their interactions with ionic and lipophilic electron acceptors when compared to thylakoids from non-halophytes. FeCN was considerably less efficient as electron acceptor with halophyte thylakoids, supporting much lower rates of O2 evolution and having a lower affinity.

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.

Halophytes—An Emerging Trend in Phytoremediation
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2011Halophytic plants are of special interest because these plants are naturally present in environments characterized by an excess of toxic ions, mainly sodium and chloride. Several studies have revealed that these plants may also tolerate other stresses including heavy metals based on the findings that tolerance to salt and to heavy metals may, at least ...
