Halophytes have long been used for medicinal purposes. However, many decades, their use was entirely empirical, with virtually no knowledge of the bioactive compounds underlying different applications. In recent growing problem antibiotic resistance triggered research on alternative antimicrobial approaches, and halophytes, along other plants, regained attention as an underexplored pharmacological vein. Furthermore, high nutritional/nutraceutical/pharmacological value some halophytic species...
Root−associated microbial communities play important roles in the process of adaptation plant hosts to environment stressors, and this perspective, microbiome halophytes represents a valuable model for understanding contribution microorganisms tolerance salt. Although considered as most promising halophyte candidate crop cultivation, Salicornia ramosissima is one least-studied species terms composition effect sediment properties on diversity plant-growth promoting bacteria associated with...
Salicornia perennis is a halophyte belonging to the botanical subfamily Salicornioideae that forms extensive perennial salt marsh patches. This has excellent potential, still unexplored, as source of food, medicine, and phytoremediation. study aimed evaluate lipophilic composition different organs inhabiting marshes Ria de Aveiro under stress regimes. For this purpose, content was extracted with hexane subsequent GC-MS analysis extracts for each plant organ, which collected in three Aveiro....
In this study, two molecular techniques [denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and barcoded pyrosequencing] were used to evaluate the composition of bacterial communities in salt marsh microhabitats [bulk sediment surrounding roots (rhizosphere) Halimione portulacoides Sarcocornia perennis ssp. perennis] that have been differentially affected by oil hydrocarbon (OH) pollution. Both DGGE pyrosequencing revealed is structured microhabitat. Rhizosphere from both plant species...

In present work, effects are analyzed two most important Portuguese systems, lagoon estuary. The role rivers inflow on also under different scenarios. Several projections river discharges were...
Waterlogging and submergence are the major constraints to which wetland plants subjected, with inevitable impacts on their physiology productivity. Global warming climate change, as driving forces of sea level rise, tend increase such submersion periods also modify carbonate chemistry water column due increased concentration CO2 in atmosphere. In present work, underwater O2 fluxes leaves two abundant Mediterranean halophytes were evaluated at different levels dissolved CO2. Photosynthetic...
