Morphological, Anatomical and Physiological adaptations in Halophytes
CONTENTS Introduction Classification Life cycle Morphological adaptations Anatomical adaptations Physiological adaptations Importance of halophytes conclusion
Halophytes Salinity. 25% in Pakistan Causes Removal of deep rooted vegetation Development of shallow water table Remobilization of salt stored in the soil profile Strategies adopt by the plants to salt tolerant
Fruits of halophytes light weight, air chambers Seed dispersal by wind or water , heteromorphic, brown and black Viviparous mode of seed germination e.g. Rhizophora sp. Aegiceras
Anatomical Adaptations in Halophytes Thick leaves Spongy parenchyma Less chlorophyll Xerophytic features Classification of halophytes Euhalophytes , Suaeda salsa Crinohalophytes , ( S partina) Glycohalophytes e.g. Artemisia santonica Voronkova et al. 2008
Leaves Aerenchyma Desmostachya bipinnata Salt glands Aleuropus lagopoides
Physiological Adaptations Release dissolved salts as exudes Succulence Compatible solutes Inorganic ions Ca High rate of transpiration Produce additional shallow roots for water absorption
