Abstract
Aeluropus lagopoides is salt secreting halophytic perennial grass that commonly grows in coastal regions. Under excessive saline conditions, A. lagopoides is able to thrive and completes its life cycle. It has developed various adaptive mechanisms to tolerate harsh environmental conditions. Aeluropus follow the novel mechanism of salt secretion by excreting Na+ from the leaf sheath and stem of the plant in the form of salt crystals. Various salt responsive genes and transcription factors have been studied under salinity stress in A. lagopoides. Economically important phytochemicals are also present in this plant, thus, making it industrially important. Utilization of salt stress responsive genes and transcription factors in developing salt tolerant transgenics crops can also provide significant benefits, and potentially boost the agricultural industry for sustainable growth and production.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Plant Research is an international publication that gathers and disseminates fundamental knowledge in all areas of plant sciences. Coverage extends to every corner of the field, including such topics as evolutionary biology, phylogeography, phylogeny, taxonomy, genetics, ecology, morphology, physiology, developmental biology, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics, and systems biology.
The journal presents full-length research articles that describe original and fundamental findings of significance that contribute to understanding of plants, as well as shorter communications reporting significant new findings, technical notes on new methodology, and invited review articles.
