Perchlorate and Agriculture on Mars
Soil Systems, 2021 Perchlorate (ClO4−) is globally enriched in Martian regolith at levels commonly toxic to plants. Consequently, perchlorate in Martian regolith presents an obstacle to developing agriculture on Mars.

Molecular adaptations specific to extreme halophilic archaea could promote high perchlorate tolerance [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyPerchlorate is a strong chaotropic agent that causes macromolecule denaturation, DNA damage, and oxidative stress. However, perchlorate deliquescence is thought to promote the formation of liquid salt brines, even at hyper-arid and cold environments ...
