“…Similar results were obtained by Monoszon (1952) in a study on pollen grains of Chenopodiaceae growing in the former Soviet Union. In spite of a high degree of overlapping, the distribution of the different genera on the PCA biplot is in consensus with new taxonomic delimitations at genus level suggested by molecular evidence (Kapralov et al 2006;Ball et al 2017;Piirainen et al 2017). In accordance with many morphological similarities among members of this subfamily, the variations and overlapping in pollen traits can be due to natural variation (plasticity) or genetic differences among different populations and various closely related taxa.…”

Pollen morphology of the subfamily Salicornioideae (Chenopodiaceae) in Eurasia and North Africa

2020

Pollen morphology of 40 specimens of 15 species belonging to eight genera in the subfamily Salicornioideae (Chenopodiaceae), was studied using Light (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the taxonomic importance of pollen characters. Pollen grains were characteristically pantopolyporate with31-51 evenly distributed pores on the surface. Tectum and operculum are covered with minute spinules, typical of other members of Chenopodiaceae, with minor differences among different genera and species. Perforation was only seen in Halostachys belangeriana at high magnification. Pollen characters studied in this study include pollen and pore diameters, number and density of apertures, interporal distance (chord), chord/pollen diameter ratio, pore diameter/pollen diameter ratio as well as spinule density on tectum and operculum. Despite extreme uniformity in pollen morphology there is good evidence supporting currently known phylogenetic relationships and generic delimitations within the Salicornioideae subfamily. The significant differences in pollen characters among populations of Halostachys belangeriana and Halocnemum strobilaceum may indicate genetic diversity or polyploidy in different populations. The pollen characters provide limited taxonomic value in the Salicornioideae subfamily which may come from habitat homogeneity of all species growing in hypersaline marshes and inland hygrohalophytic communities.

“…The sequences of Piirainen et al 2017 for the populations of Senegal (GenBank numbers: ETS: KU975265, ITS: KU975211, atpB-rbcL: KU975300 and matK-trnK: KU975357), present a clear separation from the rest of the sequences grouped in A. macrostachyum. In a later work (Ball et al, 2017), the names of these sequences were transferred from A. macrostachyum to A. franzii. Thus, the sequencing of new samples in Cape Verde, Senegal and other African areas could clarify the ascription of these populations within the genus Arthrocaulon.…”

A new species of Arthrocaulon Piirainen & G. Kadereit, A. meridionalis is described. This diploid taxon is known from the islands of Sicily and Sardinia and from circum-Mediterranean territories (from North Africa to the Anatolian Peninsula in Turkey and as far as the Persian Gulf on the Asian continent). The distinctive macro-, micromorphological and chorological features of this taxon are given.

From salt pan to saucepan: Salicornia, a halophytic vegetable with an array of potential health benefits

et al. 2023

Domestication of novel crops from the wild is a key process that ensures food security by addressing adaptability to changing environments. These wild plants offer broader and unique health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Salinization resulted in a drastic reduction of arable land and freshwater intended for cultivation. Thus, the global food production is currently under a risk of meeting the demands. Salt‐tolerant plants (i.e., halophytes) are potential food candidates that can be used to increase the productivity of salinized land and also to enhance the diversification of food production. Salicornia can survive under hypersaline and extreme climatic conditions and deliver tender shoots and dried seeds that can be used as a food with a unique taste, texture, and therapeutic benefits. Although Salicornia is not equally popular among all the food cultures globally, it has been consumed over centuries, and it is now making its way to the shelves of supermarkets in some countries such as the United States, UAE, South Korea, and Mexico. Despite being an underutilized crop, Salicornia possesses an array of chemical compounds or basic derivatives that can enhance antioxidant, anti‐obesity, antidiabetes, anti‐inflammatory, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective properties of human nutrition. The presence of considerable amounts of nutritional elements and various functional bioactive phytochemicals have opened up avenues of using Salicornia as a functional food. The present paper reviews the recognition of Salicornia as a functional food and a potential cash crop in saline agriculture to enhance agricultural productivity and also to diversify the current food supply chain.
