Halophytes as Bioenergy Crops [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
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 ...

Polyamines in Halophytes [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
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 ...

Climate Change Modulates Halophyte Secondary Metabolites to Reshape Rhizosphere Halobacteria for Biosaline Agriculture

Applied Sciences, 2023
To feed the ever-increasing population under changing climate scenarios, it is imperative to investigate the role of halophytes, which are equipped with special adaptation mechanisms to cope under extreme conditions of salinity. In the current review, we

Dynamic of active microbial diversity in rhizosphere sediments of halophytes used for bioremediation of earthen shrimp ponds

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Background In New-Caledonia, at the end of each shrimp production cycle, earthen ponds are drained and dried to enhance microbial decomposition of nutrient-rich waste trapped in the sediment during the rearing.
