Provides information on the mechanisms of plant responses to various environmental stresses. Covers molecular, biochemical, and physiological mechanisms behind salt tolerance on halophytes and saline adaptations. Overviews metabolomic, proteomic, and ionomic adjustment and adaptive mechanisms of halophytes under salinity stress.
Halophytes, salt-tolerant plants that grow in soils and waters with high salinity, are spectacular plants that can prove tremendously valuable to both man as well as nature due to their unique physiology, such as to enhance the productivity of crops in salt-affected soils, for land re-vegetation, to develop salt-tolerant crops, and to provide forage for cattle. This new book, Physiology of Halophytes: Signaling, Omics, and Tolerance Mechanisms, provides scientific knowledge and expertise on the mechanisms of plant responses to various environmental stresses.
The chapters in this volume provide comprehensive coverage of the molecular, biochemical, and physiological mechanisms behind salt tolerance on halophytes and saline adaptations. It provides an overview of metabolomic, proteomic, and ionomic adjustment and adaptive mechanisms of halophytes under salinity stress. It also focuses on the role of halophytes for sustainable, eco-friendly environmental and agricultural development. It provides an overview of endophytes-assisted salinity tolerance in halophytes while also discussing salt signaling in halophytes. It also covers some important specific halophytes, such Sonneratia sp., Sesuvium portulacastrum L., sand dune halophytes, etc.
The book provides a systematic review on physiological responses of halophytes to salinity, discussing adaptive pathways of halophytes and the prospects of increasing plant salinity tolerance. It covers reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage in halophytes under salt stress. Finally, it elaborates on the stress-mitigating proteins and osmolytes of halophytes.
This book, with its in-depth discussion on halophytes, will be useful for researchers, plant biologists, environmental biologists, agronomists, physiologists, faculty, and students. The book will also be helpful for further advancement of research in plant metabolism under salinity stress.

"Highlights the important research outcome in halophytes. . . . A superb job of compiling chapters from contributing authors on a broad range of topics, including physiological and biochemical mechanisms, compatible solutes, signaling, regulatory components, in addition to halophilic cyanobacteria and microalgae, halophyte-associated microbes, endophytes, adaptive pathways. The book has also relevant chapters on the role of halophytes in eco-friendly environmental and agricultural practices and environmental clean-up. . . . A valuable knowledge resource for researchers, students, and policymakers looking to explore halophytes in sustainable agriculture."
