Halophyte plant Salicornia has potential uses in farming and environmental management. is one of the most important families halophytes known for its exceptional salt tolerance. It thrives well saline habitats near coastal areas. A comprehensive review paper provides an overview Salicornia, including details on impact temperature salinity germination different ecotypes, as influence day length ...

The production of two or more seed types by a single plant is known as seed heteromorphism. There have been many comparisons of seed traits or growth between plants grown from heteromorphic seeds. However, information is scarce regarding the mineral contents of adult plants from heteromorphic seeds. We herein present biomass and mineral profiles of adult plants grown from dimorphic seeds (non-d...

Crithmum maritimum L. (Apiaceae) is a perennial local oilseed halophyte. For a better understanding of the eco-physiology of salt tolerance at the germinative stage of this species, we investigate here the effects of nitrate, thiourea, and priming on its seed germination under saline conditions. Germination was strongly inhibited by increasing salinity. While nitrate supply was effective in all...

A new plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) antiporter gene (named as KvSOS1) was cloned from the halophyte Kosteletzkya virginica by reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology, which is a homologue of SOS1 (salt overly sensitive 1). The full-length cDNA is 3850 bp and contains an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 1147 amino...

Sealed microsomal membrane vesicles were prepared from leaves of a 250 millimolar NaCl-grown halophyte (Atriplex gmelini C. A. Mey). The vesicles exhibited ATP-dependent proton-transporting activity which was inhibited 60% by NO(3) (-) (50 millimolar) but not by vanadate (100 micromolar) and 23% by oligomycin (10 micrograms per milliliter), suggesting that tonoplast-derived vesicles were the ma...
