“…The increase in Na + accumulation in S. brachiata was associated with reduction in K + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ indicating a restriction in the uptake of these nutrients as reported for other halophytes (Cherian et al 1999;Cherian and Reddy 2000;Maggio et al 2000;Debez et al 2004) When, Na + concentration reaches a critical value detrimental effect may suddenly arise in calcium homeostasis due to displacement of Ca 2+ by Na + (Maggio et al 2000;Debez et al 2004), similarly high sodium concentration interferes with intracellular k + accumulation presumably by competing for the same site of influx (Niu et al 1995). The distribution pattern of Na + , K + , Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ between root and shoot was similar to those shown in (Table 2) have been reported for several other halophytes (Maggio et al 2000;Rao et al 2004;Debez et al 2004). Bromide accumulation was reported for the first time and results show that except for pale green colour observed in the plant, the growth and biomass accumulated significantly as compared to control.…”

“…Massive accumulation of inorganic ions is considered to be an adaptive significance in many halophytes (Reddy et al 1992;Cherian and Reddy 2000;Maggio et al 2000;Rao et al 2004;Debez et al 2004). Analysis of ion accumulation and partitioning revealed that S. brachiata was no way different from many halophytes (Maggio et al 2000;Cherian and Reddy 2000;Rao et al 2004;Debez et al 2004) and accumulated Na + as primary osmotica.…”

In coastal marshy lands, halogen bromide concentration is reported to be generally higher than in the inland soils where, annual halophytic species naturally grow. The effect of bromide on plant responses is relatively less known. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of sodium bromide (NaBr) on growth, photosynthetic pigments, tissue ions content and changes in enzymes activity in Salicornia brachiata, a salt marsh halophyte. Presence of NaBr in the root medium induced 200 percent increase in fresh mass and 30% increase in dry mass, compared to untreated control. Relative water content also increased significantly with NaBr treatment. Increase in fresh and dry mass was not associated with high photosynthetic efficiency as evidenced by decrease in photosynthetic pigments accumulation. However, inorganic ion analysis revealed that S. brachiata accumulated Na + as a primary osmotica. The concentration of Na + in NaBr treated plants was ∼4 fold higher than that measured in untreated controls and this was associated with significant reduction in K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ contents. Bromide content also increased significantly and accounted for 20 to 50 percent of dry weight. In addition, significant differences in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), catalase (CAT) and ATPase were observed in bromide treated plants. For the first time bromide tolerance in coastal halophyte was reported and the results suggest that bromide was not toxic to S. brachiata for growth and metabolism even at 600 mM. concentration and suggest that the species can be used in phytoremediation of bromide contaminated soils.

“…Life spans are estimated to be between 25 and 50 yr for Salvadora sp. and in the order of decades for Avicennia sp., respectively (Rao et al, 2004;Saenger, 1996). This could therefore partly explain the age difference measured between different A. marina charcoal samples within each grave (110e180 14 C yr, Table 2).…”

Bromide Tolerance in Plants: A Case Study on Halophytes of Indian Coast

Many industrial effluents contain occasionally various toxic elements. Many a time, bromide forms a constituent of the effluents especially originating from coastal regions. Plant materials have been effectively employed as tools to remediate this situation. Some halophytes are the best choice for reducing the toxic levels from affected salanised soils. This paper deals with the bromide uptake and its accumulation effect on the growth of Salicornia brachiata, Suaeda nudiflora, and Salvadora persica, the common halophyts of Indian coast. The species were grown with NaBr solution along with other essential nutrients. The growth in S. brachiata, S. nudiflora, and S. persica was more or less same except for some apparent morphological differences in NaBr grown plants as compared to that in NaCl-fed plants. The bromide present in various parts of these plants was determined by simple and eco-friendly techniques for the first time. A reliable spectrophotometric method was developed and employed to estimate the bromide composition in all plant extracts. The bromide levels were about 0.086-0.2 g in the root, 0.175-0.443 g in stem and 0.287-0.432 g in leaves per g of dry plant material and at higher levels it affected the photosynthetic activity. Cultivation of these plants for reclamation of bromide affected soils has been advocated as an alternative.
