“…1), our data support Salsola spp. ability to accumulate salt and its halophytic characteristics (Khan et al 2002;Heidari-Sharifabad and Mirzaie-Nodoushan 2006;Mehrun-Nisa et al 2007). However, as it was previously shown in Salsola iberica (Khan et al 2002), that high salt concentrations inhibited germination of S. inermis (see Fig.…”

“…The ability of Salsola spp. to accumulate salt and high metal (de la Rosa et al 2004;Heidari-Sharifabad and Mirzaie-Nodoushan 2006) indicated its phytoremediation potential that has not yet been fully explored (Zhang 2007). The results presented in this paper suggest that the perennial salt-tolerant P. lentiscus can be recommended for horticultural purposes and soil stabilization in arid and saline environments.…”

Soil salinity around Pistacia trees critically affects the growth of S. inermis. Inhibition of S. inermis growth, but not germination, around the evergreen P. lentiscus, stems from the latter's ability to deplete salt from its surroundings. The results indicated that P. lentiscus is able to tolerate and accumulate salt, which we assume contributes to its wide distribution along the Mediterranean coast in Israel. Recommendations and perspectives While the phytoremediation potential of Salsola spp. has been explored to some extent, this of P. lentiscus has not been tested and proven before. The results suggest that the evergreen perennial salt-tolerant P. lentiscus can be recommended for horticulture purposes and soil stabilization in relatively saline environments.

“…[37], stems of A. prostata [12,20], stems of A. patula [17], A. canescens [21] and others Chenopodiaceae [24,26,27,38]. It was reported that the increased levels of Na + and concomitant decreasing levels of K + in shoots respond to the competition of Na + with K + for the same binding sites, and therefore interfere with the transport of potassium in the cell [26]. This study results demonstrated that the K + content did not vary significantly among salt levels in A. argentina, A. crenatifolia and A. lampa, which agreed with results found for A. canescens [1,21,35].…”

“…In several Atriplex species, it was reported that a significant increase of Na + and Cl -ions were accumulated in stems and leaves, when the concentration levels of NaCl in the root substrate or irrigation water increased [10,12,13,17,[19][20][21][22]. The increase of Na + and Cl -and decrease of K + , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ concentration in plant tissues were reported in many Chenopodiaceae species when under saline stress [23][24][25][26][27].…”

Salinity is a major stress that adversely affects growth and productivity in plants. There are species that tolerate this stress within the genus Atriplex. Four species, A. lampa, A. crenatifolia, A. nummularia and A. argentina were compared for their ion accumulation and water relations under saline conditions. A greenhouse study was conducted by irrigating the four species with NaCl solutions at concentrations 0%, 1%, 2% and 4% starting when plants were six months old. Plants were harvested 45 d after starting the salinity treatments and analyzed for their ion contents. In the four Atriplex species, Na + and Cl -contents in plants increased, while Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ decreased with the increase of salinity in the irrigation solution. The results suggested that A. argentina and A. nummularia were able to maintain a higher leaf relative water content (RWC) at low leaf water potential, which was associated with a greater capacity of osmotic adjustment. A. lampa showed lower ion accumulation and minor osmotic adjustment than the other species. It can be concluded that the accumulation of ions favors the lower osmotic potential and contributes to osmotic adjustment in these halophytes.

“…However, Bethke et al [12] pointed out that responses of the water potential and the photosynthetic rates are not always uniform, and that the decreases of water potential might not cause the closure of stomates. Osmotic adjustment has also been frequently observed in response to salt stress [13,14] , resulting in plants to accumulate organic solutes, such as proline, glycine betaine and soluble sugars, when growing in saline environments. However, Liu et al [15] showed that proline accumulation is not always an indicator of salt tolerance but in some plants also a symptom of stress injury.…”
