“…When present at the exact concentrations, salt promotes halophyte vegetative growth while preventing nonhalophyte growth, which reflects the ability of plants to produce different phenotypic traits in response to shifting environmental circumstances (Yuan et al, 2019;Rittirongsakul et al, 2020). In addition, Garcia et al (2020) noted that halophytes can adjust high salt concentrations depending on physiological, environmental, and genetic factors.…”

The adverse effects of climate change and heightened soil salinity on agricultural production are definite. Halophytes serve to remove salts from soil effectively and economically. Consequently, the presented work has evaluated the impact of three halophytic species on salt-affected soil. The study used inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) and start codon targeted (SCoT) markers to examine the genetic variations. Field experiments progressed on salt-affected soils around Qarun Lake's coastal region for two consecutive seasons (2019 and 2020). The soil and plants underwent analysis using established methodologies. The findings indicated that after the fifth cutting for the three halophytic species, there was a drop in salinity indices, implying an improvement in soil quality assessments. On the other hand, six ISSR and 10 SCoT primers amplified 96 and 190 bands with 84.14% and 88.29% polymorphism, respectively. Additionally, they demonstrated numerous positive and negative markers linked to some phenotypic traits. Polymorphic information content (PIC) values were 0.51 (ISSRs) and 0.48 (SCoT), indicating that these markers were moderately informative. Heterozygosity index (He) values were 0.59 (ISSRs) and 0.57 (SCoT), implying a substantial degree of genetic diversity present within the studied species.

Salinization has become one of the main environmental problems affecting the worldwide ecological balance. The effluent discharge of saline industrial effluents, such as marine aquaculture, and its rapid increase in global production in the last decades has become an important part of this problem. The halophyte Sarcocornia neei (Lag.) has proven its ability to remove and assimilate nutrients from saline wastewater, making it a promising candidate for application in phytoremediation systems. In this study, its ability to reduce water salinity was evaluated. For this purpose, the plants were reared for 53 days in artificial effluents at four different salinities: A) 0, B) 10, C) 20, and D) 30 g L-1. A significant salt reduction was obtained in all treatments with NaCl addition. The maximum decrease was achieved in treatment C, reducing 6.91 ± 1.52 g L-1, approximately 35% of the total added at the beginning of the trials. Plants tolerated all salt content ranges; no mortality or salt stress symptoms were observed in any treatment. The results obtained are a first approach suggesting that S. neei could be used for bio-desalination of saline wastewater. Further studies are needed to evaluate its application in pilot systems integrated into saline industrial effluents.
