Sodium chloride toxicity and the cellular basis of salt tolerance in halophytes.
BACKGROUND Halophytes are the flora of saline soils. They adjust osmotically to soil salinity by accumulating ions and sequestering the vast majority of these (generally Na(+) and Cl(-)) in vacuoles, while in the cytoplasm organic solutes are accumulated to prevent adverse effects on metabolism. At high salinities, however, growth is inhibited. Possible causes are: toxicity to metabolism of Na(...
متن کاملSalt Tolerance and Crop Potential of Halophytes
Although they represent only 2% of terrestrial plant species, halophytes are present in about half the higher plant families and represent a wide diversity of plant forms. Despite their polyphyletic origins, halophytes appear to have evolved the same basic method of osmotic adjustment: accumulation of inorganic salts, mainly NaCl, in the vacuole and accumulation of organic solutes in the cytopl...
متن کاملSodium Chloride Salt Tolerance Evaluation and Classification of Spring Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
Abiotic stresses such as salinity, are factors that severely affects agricultural production. To evaluate the effects of salinity on some morphological and physiological traits related to salt tolerance of 22 genotypes of spring rapeseed cultivars in the vegetative growth stage, an experiment was conducted as a split plot form based on Randomized Complete Blocks Design using levels of salinity:...
متن کاملHalophytes: Potential Resources for Salt Stress Tolerance Genes and Promoters
Halophytes have demonstrated their capability to thrive under extremely saline conditions and thus considered as one of the best germplasm for saline agriculture. Salinity is a worldwide problem, and the salt-affected areas are increasing day-by-day because of scanty rainfall, poor irrigation system, salt ingression, water contamination, and other environmental factors. The salinity stress tole...
