“…Some tap-rooted species in arid and semiarid areas have the ability to produce a hydraulic lift (an upwards transport of water from the deeper, moister layers of soil to the shallow, drier zone), and act as 'nurse plants', beneficial for other plant species by redistributing water from deeper soil layers (Prieto et al 2011). The fourth species under study, L. narbonense, presented a rhizomatous root as described in other Limonium species (Eber and Veenhuis 1991;Antonelli-Ushirobira et al 2015). Such structures are adapted for storing high amounts of carbohydrates and nitrogenous reserves (Suzuki and Stuefer 1999;Schmidt and Gaudin 2017).…”

Background and aims Morphological and biochemical traits of four halophytes of the genus Limonium were analysed in plants sampled from salt marshes in SE Spain. This work aimed to explore the mechanism(s) behind the adaptation of these species to stressful habitats, with particular emphasis on responses to drought.Methods Plants of each species together with soil samples were collected in summer, which is the most stressful season in the Mediterranean. Soil parameters and plant morphological traits were determined, and the levels of several biochemical stress markers in plants were measured using spectrophotometric assays. A multivariate analysis was performed to correlate soil and plant data. Results Morphological characteristics regarding the underground system topology and several biochemical traits (higher foliar Ca 2+ , sucrose and glucose, and lower proline, glycine-betaine and fructose) clearly separate L. santapolense individuals from plants of the other three species. Conclusions Drought tolerance of L. santapolense in the field is mostly dependent on morphological adaptations: when growing in an arid location, plants of this species develop long taproots that can extract water from the deep, moist layers of the soil.

Constitutive and Induced Salt Tolerance Mechanisms and Potential Uses of Limonium Mill. Species

Limonium is one of the most interesting and biodiverse genera of halophytes, with many species adapted to saline environments. Limonium species have a promising potential as cultivated minor crops as many have ornamental value, or are already used as medicinal plants. Other species are marketed as gourmet food or can be used for decontamination of polluted soils. Design and implementation of specific breeding programmes are needed to fully realise this potential, based on the vast genetic variation and high stress tolerance of wild species within the genus. Most Limonium species are halophytes, but many are also resistant to drought, especially those from the Mediterranean and other arid regions. Such species constitute attractive models for basic research on the mechanisms of stress tolerance, both constitutive and induced. As typical recretohalopyhtes, with excretive salt glands, Limonium species possess remarkable morpho-anatomical traits. Salt tolerance in this genus relies also on ion accumulation in the leaves, the concomitant use of diverse osmolytes for osmotic adjustment, and the activation of efficient antioxidant systems.
