Population structure and developmental stage‐associated ecophysiological responses of Salicornia brachiata

Abstract: Salicornia brachiata (Roxb.) is an important euhalophyte for ecological rehabilitation of salt‐affected soil. The aim of this study was to investigate the population structure of S. brachiata and evaluate its ecophysiological responses throughout its lifespan. Six different salt marshes along the Gujarat Coast, India, were visited regularly to monitor and quantify the ecophysiological responses of S. brachiata. Vegetation index analyses confirmed the dominance of halophytic vegetation at these sites. The low s… Show more

“…Similarly, more or less equal plant height (32 cm) and the number of primary branches (19) were observed by Rao and Murty (2013) at Godavari estuary, Andhra Pradesh, India. Moreover, Rathore et al (2019) also reported comparable plant parameters at different coastal saline regions of India. In this study, S. brachiata achieved maximum height at SSS (February month) while Rao and Murty (2013) found maximum height in April month at Godavari estuary, India, which may be related to the diverse seasonal regime.…”

“…In the present study, a higher water content (68.29%, averaged over sampling sites and stages) in S. brachiata was found which corroborates the fact that S. brachiata retains a good amount of water in tissues to maintain proper growth in saline condition. At the SS, a significantly highest water content (87%) was recorded (Table 1) which suggested that in the initial growth stages, S. brachiata maintains osmotic potential efficiently with the help of energetically cheap Na + ions (Rathore et al, 2019). We also observed significantly highest aboveground Na + content at the SS of S. brachiata .…”
