Diversity, distribution and roles of osmoprotective compounds accumulated in halophytes under abiotic stress
This review discusses the diversity of osmolytes among halophytes.
Light-dark O2 dynamics in submerged leaves of C3 and C4 halophytes under increased dissolved CO2: Clues for saltmarsh response to climate change
Global warming and climate change, as driving forces of sea level rise, tend to increase marsh submersion periods and also modify the carbonate chemistry of the water column due to the increased concentration of CO2 in...
Halophytes and saline adaptations: A Special Issue of Annals of Botany
Tim J Flowers and Tim D Colmer Saline ecosystems are a familiar feature in many continents. The seas and oceans of the world, which contain on average about 3.5% (w/v) salt, cover some 72% of the surface of the globe...
