Polyamines in Halophytes [PDF]
Polyamines (PAs) are related to many aspects of the plant's life cycle, including responses to biotic and abiotic stress. On the other hand, halophytic plants are useful models for studying salt tolerance mechanisms related to the adaptive strategies that these plants present in adverse environments.

Much is already known about the function and functioning of the three genes that make up the SOS (Salt-Overly-Sensitive) pathway in plants, but recent studies indicate that the linkage between external increases in salinity and stress protection provided by genes SOS1, SOS2 and SOS3 is more complex than previously appreciated.

Halophytes As Bioenergy Crops [PDF]
Shrinking arable land due to soil salinization and, depleting fresh water resources pose serious worldwide constraints to crop productivity. A vision of using plant feedstock for biofuel production can only be realized if we can identify alternate species that can be grown on saline soils and therefore, would not compete for the resources required for ...

Classifying halophytes and halophytic vegetation – an Editorial
As an introduction to the Special Issue "Halophytic vegetation", which includes four research studies and one review article, this Editorial briefly touches on problems, challenges and solution approaches related to the classification of vegetation associated with coastal and inland saline habitats. Three central issues, addressed in this introduction,

Ultrastructure changes of seedlings of Kosteletzkya virginica under waterlogging conditions
The changes in ultrastructure of leaf cell in waterlogged Kosteletzkya virginica seedlings were observed by transmission electron microscope. During waterlogging, the chloroplasts turned into a round shape and their volume was gradually reduced ...

Flooding tolerance in halophytes [PDF]
SummaryFlooding is a common environmental variable with salinity. Submerged organs can suffer from O2deprivation and the resulting energy deficits can compromise ion transport processes essential for salinity tolerance. Tolerance of soil waterlogging in halophytes, as in glycophytes, is often associated with the production of adventitious roots ...
