Prospects of Halophytes in Understanding and Managing Abiotic Stress Tolerance (2012, background): “In order to be useful for desalination purpose, the plant species to be used should have high salt resistance, high biomass production, considerable shoot sodium content, and high degree of economic utilization (such as fodder, fuel, fi ber, essential oil, and oil seeds) (Rabhi et al. 2010 ) .”
Role of Plants in a Constructed Wetland: Current and New Perspectives (2013, background): “Studies have demonstrated that halophytes can survive in extreme salinities and mitigate soil salinity [79–86], but studies on salt phytoremediation in water are still scarce.”
Sesuvium portulacastrum, a plant for drought, salt stress, sand fixation, food and phytoremediation. A review (2013, background): “Rabhi et al. (2009, 2010b) has provided evidence for the ability of this halophyte to desalinise an experimentally salinised agricultural soil (grown for 189 days) and confirmed the growth potentials of test culture Hordeum vulgare (barley) on the desalinised soil.”
