“…Many studies have shown that at high salinity, the amount of halophyte production is much higher than the economic yield of commercial crops and trees [6,29]. However, it should be noted that the growth of the halophytes may be decreased at very high salinities.…”

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are excited or partially reduced forms of atmospheric oxygen, which are continuously produced during aerobic metabolism like many physiochemical processes operating throughout seed life. Previously, it was believed that ROS are merely cytotoxic molecules, however, now it has been established that they perform numerous beneficial functions in plants including many critical roles in seed physiology. ROS facilitate seed germination via cell wall loosening, endosperm weakening, signaling, and decreasing abscisic acid (ABA) levels. Most of the existing knowledge about ROS homeostasis and functions is based on the seeds of common plants or model ones. There is little information about the role of ROS in the germination process of halophyte seeds. There are several definitions for halophytic plants, however, we believed “halophytes are plants that can grow in very saline environment and complete their life cycle by adopting various phenological, morphological and physiological mechanisms at canopy, plant, organelle and molecular scales”. Furthermore, mechanisms underlying ROS functions such as downstream targets, cross-talk with other molecules, and alternative routes are still obscure. The primary objective of this review is to decipher the mechanisms of ROS homeostasis in halophytes and dry seeds, as well as ROS flux in germinating seeds of halophytes.

“…One of the most common plant responses to salinity and drought stress is to reduce stomatal conductivity, thus minimizing water loss [6]. This response limits the Calvin cycle's access to CO 2 for carbon stabilization; consequently, the absorbed light exceeds the amount required for normal photosynthesis [7].…”
