Potassium (K⁺) Starvation-Induced Oxidative Stress Triggers a General Boost of Antioxidant and NADPH-Generating Systems in the Halophyte Cakile maritima

Antioxidants, 2022
Potassium (K+) is an essential macro-element for plant growth and development given its implication in major processes such as photosynthesis, osmoregulation, protein synthesis, and enzyme function.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

The Pyruvate-Phosphate Dikinase (C4-SmPPDK) Gene From Suaeda monoica Enhances Photosynthesis, Carbon Assimilation, and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in a C3 Plant Under Elevated CO2 Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
A pyruvate-phosphate dikinase (C4-PPDK) gene was cloned from Suaeda monoica, which had a single-cell C4 photosynthesis pathway without Kranz anatomy and was functionally validated in a C3 model plant under different abiotic stress conditions in an ...

Bioaugmentation Improves Phytoprotection in Halimione portulacoides Exposed to Mild Salt Stress: Perspectives for Salinity Tolerance Improvement

Plants, 2022
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can promote plant growth through mechanisms such as mineral phosphates solubilization, biological N2 fixation and siderophores and phytohormones production.

Soil and water salinization and the development of organic saline crops [PDF]

, 2014
Saline water and soils present an increasing problem for agriculture. Adaptation strategies of agriculture include selection of existing crops on salt tolerance, and development of new tolerant or halophyte crops.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Metabolic and physiological adjustment of Suaeda maritima to combined salinity and hypoxia [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Suaeda maritima is a halophyte commonly found on coastal wetlands in the intertidal zone. Due to its habitat S. maritima has evolved tolerance to high salt concentrations and hypoxic conditions in the soil caused by periodic ...

Genome‐wide analysis of DNA methyltransferases in a model extremophyte, Schrenkiella parvula: Transcriptional dynamics during development and under salt stress

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Classification of DMTs into 4 subfamilies: two METs, three CMTs, three DRMs, and one DNMT2. The cis‐elements are associated with stress‐response, hormonal regulation, light‐response, and development. RNA‐seq analysis revealed differential expression of DMTs under NaCl stress.

Effect of Nitrate on Root Development and Nitrogen Uptake of Suaeda physophora Under NaCl Salinity [PDF]

, 2010
The effects of NaCl salinity and NO3- on growth, root morphology, and nitrogen uptake of a halophyte Suaeda physophora were evaluated in a factorial experiment with four concentrations of NaCl (1, 150, 300, and 450 mmol L-1) and three NO3- levels (0.05 ...

Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the
