Bacterial Community Structure and Potential Microbial Coexistence Mechanism Associated with Three Halophytes Adapting to the Extremely Hypersaline Environment

Microorganisms, 2022
Halophytes play a crucial ecological role in drought and saline–alkali environments. However, there is limited knowledge about the structure of bacterial communities and the potential microbial coexistence mechanism associated with halophytes. This study

Physiological responses of a halophytic shrub to salt stress by Na2SO4 and NaCl: oxidative damage and the role of polyphenols in antioxidant protection [PDF]

, 2014
Salt stress conditions lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells. Halophytes have the ability to reduce these toxic ROS by means of a powerful antioxidant system that includes enzymatic and non-enzymatic components.

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 ...

Uptake and accumulation of metals in Spartina alterniflora salt marshes from a South American estuary [PDF]

, 2019
Salt marshes are capable of reducing metal pollution in coastal waters, but this capacity is highly dependent on the metal, the physico-chemical characteristics of the sediment, the plant species, the production of biomass, the time of the year, etc. The
