Salt Tolerance and Crop Potential of Halophytes

TL;DR: Differences between halophyte and gly-cophyte ion transport systems are becoming apparent and may involve ion channels and pinocytosis, in addition to Na+ and Cl− transporters.

Effect of salt and osmotic stresses on germination in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)

TL;DR: It was concluded that stress inhibition of germination could not be attributed to an inhibition of mobilisation of reserves and that the main effect of PEG occurred via an inhibited of water uptake while detrimental effects of NaCl may be linked to long-term effects of accumulated toxic ions.

Physiological and antioxidant responses of the perennial halophyte Crithmum maritimum to salinity

TL;DR: Monitoring lipid peroxidation showed that both root and shoot malonyldialdehyde (MDA) contents of plants cultivated at the optimal salt concentration were lower than control ones, but MDA levels in both roots and shoots remained close to control ones.

Effects of Salinity on Growth, Water Relations and Ion Accumulation of the Subtropical Perennial Halophyte, Atriplex griffithii var. stocksii

TL;DR: Atriplex griffithii accumulated a large quantity of ions, with the ash content reaching 39% of the dry weight in leaves, which is significant in osmotic adjustment and facilitates water uptake along a soil-plant gradient.

Water potential and ionic effects on germination and seedling growth of two cold desert shrubs.

TL;DR: Species differences in seed and seedling Ψ(s) stress tolerance probably contribute to the restricted distribution of Chrysothamnus to less saline areas, and the Na uptake of Sarcobatus seedlings enhances its ability to deal with declining Ψ (s) and establish in more saline areas.

The mechanism of salt tolerance in halophytes

TL;DR: The objective was to establish an experimental procedure and show direct AFM measurements that unequivocally can be assigned as a mode of action for the conversion of NalK to Na6(SO4)(SO3) during the cycling process.

The germination of seeds

TL;DR: In his Friday evening discourse at the Royal Institution on November 3, Sir Arthur Hill discussed the many ingenious devices for the protection of the seed and equally ingenious arrangements for the escape of the embryo on germination, which are found in plants.
