• Evolution of halophytes: multiple origins of salt tolerance in land plants (2010, background): “Future agricultural production will rely increasingly on our ability to grow food and fi bre plants in salt-affected land (Rozema and Flowers 2008; Qadir et al .”
• Assessment of plant growth promoting activities and abiotic stress tolerance of Azotobacter chroococcum strains for a potential use in sustainable agriculture (2016, background): “The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that approximately 20% irrigated lands are affected by increasing salinity (Rozema and Flowers, 2008).”
• Salt tolerance in the halophyte Salicornia dolichostachya Moss: Growth, morphology and physiology (2013, background): “Alternatively, domestication of halophytes can convert them into high yielding crops (Rozema and Flowers 2008) or halophytes can be used for remediation and reclamation of salt-affected lands (Barrett-Lennard 2002).”
• Halophytes: potential source of ligno-cellulosic biomass for ethanol production. (2011, background): “This invites particular attention in view of the facts that about 43% of earth land mass is arid or semi arid and 98% of its water is saline [7], over 800 million hectare of the world is affected by salinity [8], 45 million out of 230 million hectare of prime irrigated agricultural land has become s”
• Food Security in the Face of Salinity, Drought, Climate Change, and Population Growth (2016, background): “In fact, the development of halophytic crops is not a particularly new idea (e.g., Glenn et al., 1999; Rozema and Flowers, 2008; Yensen, 2006), but progress in accomplishing it has been slow, and in few cases has the intent been to develop food crops.”
• Halophyte Improvement for a Salinized World (2010, background): “Because salt tolerance has already evolved in halophytes, domestication of these plants is an approach that should be considered for a salinized world (Flowers, 2004; Flowers and Flowers, 2005; Rozema and Flowers, 2008).”
