Journal ArticleDOI
Seeds of Kosteletzkya virginica (Malvaceae): their structure, germination, and salt tolerance. II. Germination and salt tolerance
TL;DR: Inhibition of germination by high NaCl concentrations is relatively more severe in scarified than in intact seeds, indicating that the seed coat acts as a partial barrier to Na+ influx.
Journal ArticleDOI
The regulation of ecosystem functions by ecotypic variation in the dominant plant: a Spartina alterniflora salt‐marsh case study
TL;DR: Many of the plant features characteristic of particular latitudes appear to be under genetic control through keystone resource and keystone modifier activities as tested by planting Spartina alterniflora from different geographical regions in a newly created salt marsh in Delaware, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root-secreted Allelochemical in the Noxious Weed Phragmites Australis Deploys a Reactive Oxygen Species Response and Microtubule Assembly Disruption to Execute Rhizotoxicity
Thimmaraju Rudrappa,Justin Bonsall,Justin Bonsall,John L. Gallagher,Denise M. Seliskar,Harsh P. Bais,Harsh P. Bais +6 more
TL;DR: The study highlights the persistence of the exuded gallic acid in P. australis’s rhizosphere and its inhibitory effects against A. thaliana in the soil, one of the salt marsh species it successfully invades.
Book ChapterDOI
Halophytic crops for cultivation at seawater salinity
TL;DR: Several hundred halophytes from salt marshes and salt deserts of the world have been evaluated in the laboratory at various degrees of intensity, and a few have been selected for development as crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress tolerance in the marsh plant Spartina patens: Impact of NaCl on growth and root plasma membrane lipid composition
TL;DR: The C-4 salt marsh grass, Spartina patens, thrives in the upper portion of the marsh where soil salinities may be equal to coastal seawater, and the plasma membrane molar percentage of sitosterol in total free sterol increased when plants were grown in salt media, while the shoots had a decreases K + content and the roots had a decreased Ca 2+ content.
