Potential of Suaeda nudiflora and Suaeda fruticosa to Adapt to High Salinity Conditions

The deposition of salts in soil seems likely to become a significant barrier for plant development and growth. Halophytes that flourish naturally saline habitats may sustain extreme salt levels by adopting different acclimatory traits. Insight into such features can be useful devising salt-resilient crops the reclamation soil. Therefore, salinity-induced responses were studied two halophytes, i.e., Suaeda nudiflora fruticosa, at high salinity level (ECe 65) explore their possible tolerance mechanisms natural habitat. Samples tissues collected from both species determination physio-biochemical attributes, ionic (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl−) content, osmo-protective compounds (proline, soluble sugars, proteins), total phenolic antioxidant components. Heavy metal composition accumulation samples also assessed, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was conducted cellular metabolite pools with respect salinity. results showed considerably adjusted above-mentioned attributes resist salinity, demonstrated quantitative differences above-ground tissues. FTIR profiles confirmed plants’ differential terms variability lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, cell wall constituents. capacity Na+ Cl− considerable bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values metals, mainly Fe Zn, validate importance as phytodesalination plants potential use phytoremediation salt- metal-polluted soils.
