Salicornia bigelovii Torr.: An Oilseed Halophyte for Seawater Irrigation
TL;DR: The terrestrial halophyte, Salicornia bigelovii Torr, was evaluated as an oilseed crop for direct seawater irrigation during 6 years of field trials in an extreme coastal desert environment and appears to be a potentially valuable new oilseed crops for subtropical coastal deserts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adaptive significance of amphistomatic leaves
TL;DR: It is proposed that the effect of developing stomata on the upper surface as well as the lower is to increase maximum leaf conductance to CO2, and plants with a high photosynthetic capacity, living in full-sun environments, and experiencing rapidly fluctuating or continuously available soil water are identified as deriving an adaptive advantage from a high maximum leaf Conductance.

Growth and Physiology of Salicornia bigelovii Torr. at Suboptimal Salinity
Felix Ayala,James W. O'Leary +1 more
TL;DR: In spite of the comparable growth reductions at sub- and supraoptimal salinities, the physiological responses, and presumably the causes of the growth reductions, were not the same at those twoSalicornia bigelovii Torr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between salt accumulation and water content of dicotyledonous halophytes
Edward P. Glenn,James W. O'Leary +1 more
TL;DR: Water content and cation accumulation in euhalophytes appeared to be coordinated to produce a constant osmotic potential gradient within the shoot tissues relative to the external salinity, in contrast, miohalophytes did not appear to regulate osmosis potential as closely as euh alophytes.
