Flooding tolerance in halophytes [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2008
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 ...

Reproductive Physiology of Halophytes: Current Standing [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Background: Halophytes possess efficient salt-tolerance mechanisms and can complete their life cycles in naturally saline soils with NaCl contents exceeding 200 mM. While a significant progress have been made in recent decades elucidating underlying salt-

Halophytes as Medicinal Plants against Human Infectious Diseases

Applied Sciences, 2022
Halophytes have long been used for medicinal purposes. However, for many decades, their use was entirely empirical, with virtually no knowledge of the bioactive compounds underlying the different applications.
