“…Other species with higher TSS were D. bipinnata (3.8) and U. setulosa (3.5) though their GB content is unknown (Table 3). Total soluble sugars marginally increased in C. tagal while decreased in R. mucronata at higher salinities (Table 3), and the reason for this could be due to the synthesis of sugar alcohols (pinitol) in salt-excluding mangroves (Aziz and Khan 2014). Marginal changes in total soluble sugars of some species hints toward the conversion of sugars into polyols as reported in Phragmites australis (Maimaiti et al 2016).…”

Although halophytes could grow in a variety of habitats with extreme temperatures and highly variable saline conditions, this chapter explains growth dynamics of subtropical halophytes growing near inland and coastal areas of Karachi. Growth and ecophysiological parameters are discussed in this review which will provide an insight for domestication of the halophytes using saline resources considering their presence in heterogeneous habitats (such as dunes, marshes, salt flats, etc.). Studies suggest that most of the grasses grow best under nonsaline control and reduce their growth under saline conditions, while most of the dicots
