Wild halophytes: tools for understanding salt tolerance mechanisms of plants and for adapting agriculture to climate change

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Understanding Salt Tolerance It seems evident that salt-tolerant plants are more appropriate for use as experimental systems for dissecting salt tolerance mechanisms, and that there is no single ‘model` species that will provide enough information. Ishikawa et_al, on the other hand, compared cultivated rice (Oryza sativa, saltsensitive) with a wild relative (Oryza coarctata, salt-tolerant) (Poaceae), demonstrating that the two species use different strategies to control Na+ uptake. In five of them, the investigated species belong to the Amaranthaceae family-which includes some of the most salt-tolerant taxa known-of the Arthrocnemum . . .
