Using euhalophytes to understand salt tolerance and to develop saline agriculture: Suaeda salsa as a promising model
Jie Song,Baoshan Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The value of S. salsa as a source of food, medicine and forage, and its uses in the restoration of salinized or contaminated land and as a sources of salt-resistance genes are considered.
Research Article SPECIAL ISSUE: Physiology and Ecology of Halophytes—Plants Living in Salt-Rich Environments Effect of saline water on seed germination and early seedling growth of the halophyte quinoa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanisms used by quinoa, a facultative halophytic species, in order to cope with high salt levels at various stages of its develop- ment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of saline water on seed germination and early seedling growth of the halophyte quinoa.
TL;DR: The introduction of new crops with improved salinity stress tolerance could preserve water quality and protect soil resources from further degradation, providing extra sources of food for salinized areas, thus providing economic benefit.

TL;DR: This research project focuses on three strategies to augment salinity tolerance capacity in agricultural crops: salinity-induced alterations in signaling pathways; signaling of phytohormones, ion channels, and biosensors; and expression of ion transporter genes in crop plants (especially in comparison to halophytes).
