Halophyte agriculture: Success stories
TL;DR: The use of halophytes may be a viable commercial alternative to ease pressure on the requirement of good quality land and water for conventional cropping systems and the utilization of land degraded by salinity as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of halophyte-based agriculture: past and present
TL;DR: This review critically analyses past and present halophyte-based production systems in the context of genetics, physiology, agrotechnical issues and product value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halophytes as bioenergy crops.
TL;DR: This work critically assessed the challenges and opportunities associated with using halophytes as bioenergy crops and highlighted the key species of Halophytes analyzed for this purpose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon Promotes Adventitious Shoot Regeneration and Enhances Salinity Tolerance of Ajuga multiflora Bunge by Altering Activity of Antioxidant Enzyme
TL;DR: Wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the high Si deposition in trichomes of plants grown in the Si containing medium but not in plants growing in the medium without Si.
BookDOI
Agroforestry for the Management of Waterlogged Saline Soils and Poor-Quality Waters /
TL;DR: In this paper, a tree-based integrated agricultural model for enhancing farm productivity of waterlogged areas is presented, and compared with models for estimating evapo-transpiration of Irrigated Eucalypt Plantations.

Mechanisms of salinity tolerance
Rana Munns,Mark Tester +1 more
TL;DR: The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level and the role of the HKT gene family in Na(+) exclusion from leaves is increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt tolerance and salinity effects on plants: a review.
TL;DR: The ability of plants to tolerate salt is determined by multiple biochemical pathways that facilitate retention and/or acquisition of water, protect chloroplast functions, and maintain ion homeostasis as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant salt tolerance
TL;DR: A recently discovered halophytic plant species, Thellungiella halophila, now promises to help in the detection of new tolerance determinants and operating pathways in a model system that is not limited to Arabidopsis traits or ecotype variations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity tolerance in halophytes
TL;DR: Halophytes, plants that survive to reproduce in environments where the salt concentration is around 200 mm NaCl or more, constitute about 1% of the world's flora and research should be concentrated on a number of 'model' species that are representative of the various mechanisms that might be involved in tolerance.
