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 – A resource for the future

Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2001
One 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

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.

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.

Interaction of electron acceptors with thylakoids from halophytic and non-halophytic species

Photosynthesis Research, 1988
Thylakoid 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.

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.

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.

Constituents of the Halophyte Salicornia herbacea

Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2004
Four compounds were isolated from Salicornia herbacea by repeated column chromatography. Their structures were identified as beta-sitosterol (1), stigmasterol (2), uracil (3), and isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) by spectral analysis and comparison with the published data.
