“…Gulzar 32 , some grass species like A. lagopoides and U. setlosa , high salt-tolerant non-succulent plants, concluded that it can be cultivated using saline water, and S. ioclados is comparatively less salt-tolerant, these plant species growing under its suitable habitat, where brackish water is accessible when water potential and osmotic potential is negative at that time in aerial parts of A. lagopoides salinity increases 33 . Joshi, A. J., & Iyengar, E. R. R. 34 observed accumulation of Cl − in S. nudiflora in different seasons viz., monsoon 4.98 meq g −1 , winter 5.88 meq g −1 and summer 5.71 meq g −1 and for S. brachiata, monsoon 9.83 meq g −1 , winter 6.85 meq g −1 and summer 8.26 meq g −1 these results were higher compare to our study. Vyas 35 noted Cl − in S. nudiflora about 8.15 to 12.52 meq g −1 these concentrations are also higher than the comparatively present study.…”

This paper presents new data on the salt tolerance and avoidance mechanisms among various groups of halophytes in India. The halophytic flora in general has positive effect of high saline environments on growth and physiology. The coastal area of the Kachchh district in Gujarat includes about 350 km of shoreline along the Gulf of Kachchh. This study presents data on the elemental accumulation mechanisms in soil and halophytic flora (succulent and non-succulents). The halophytes were divided into two groups namely succulent with thick and fleshy leaves and stems as well as non-succulents with thin leaves and stem. The succulent halophytes included species such as Salicornia brachiata, Suaeda fruticosa and Suaeda nudiflora. The non-succulent halophytes include Aeluropus lagopoides and Urochondra setulosa. Plant parts namely leaves (Phylloclade for Salicornia), stems and roots were analyzed during the monsoon season. The results of soil and plant mineral ion contents differed widely across the intertidal zones in the same habitat. Likewise, the intra species have varied in all nutrient levels and salt concentration. The accumulation of elemental concentration was high during the monsoon season in the succulent Salicornia brachiata, especially in leaves that showed Na+ reaching high up to 7.6 meq g−1, whereas Cl− was noted to be 4.34 meq g−1. In the non-succulent halophytes, the accumulation of mineral ion concentration was lower when compared to succulent plants.
