In many parts of the world wastewater is not treated at all or only to a limited extend because
there are no resources available to establish an efficient wastewater treatment plant and …

Salinity is among the most detrimental and diffuse environmental stresses. Halophytes are
plants that developed the ability to complete their life cycle under high salinity. In this work, a …

Green roofs are generally seen as a desirable building element, providing numerous
benefits where water availability does not restrict their implementation. However, most …

Responses to osmotic stress were studied in Sesuvium portulacastrum, a halophyte
potentially usable for saline soil stabilization and covering. Cuttings were multiplicated and …

Barium (Ba) is a nonessential element that can cause several deleterious effects in most
organisms. Elevated Ba concentrations can be toxic for plants and may affect growth and …

Sesuvium portulacastrum, a mangrove plant from seashore, is a halophyte species well
adapted to salinity and drought. Some efforts have been made to describe its physiological …

The importance of green technologies is steadily growing. Salt-tolerant plants have been
proposed as energy crops for cultivation on saline lands. Halophytes such as Salicornia …

The growth of the halophyte Sesuvium portulacastrum, commonly known as sea purslane, is
impeded by NaCl only at high (600–1000 mM) concentration. Therefore, the goal of this …

Key message SpAQP1 was strongly induced by salt in an ABA-independent way, promoted
seed germination and root growth in transgenic tobaccos and increased salt tolerance by …
