Dec 15, 2014 · Glycophytes, if they exist, must be defined by something other than by what they are not. They must be specialized in some way, and must be adapted to some set of conditions other than simply ‘not-particularly-salty’.

Jan 4, 2023 · The term glycophytes refers to those plants that are sensitive to higher or lower concentrations of salts in the circulating soil solution. Glycophytes, as opposed to halophytes, which have adapted to living in conditions of high salinity of the soil, must be found in soils where salts concentrations are not very high in order to grow and ...

Protective mechanisms that prevent water loss due to the increased osmotic pressure, the development of Na + toxicity on essential cellular metabolisms, and the movement of ions via the apoplastic pathway (i.e. apoplastic barriers) are described here in detail.

Here, we provide an updated overview of salt tolerant mechanisms in glycophytes with a particular interest in rice (Oryza sativa) plants.

The adaptative mechanisms and potential energy costs between halophytes and glycophytes under salt stress might explain this difference. Glycophytes are unable to efficiently exclude Na +, and ionic effects dominate over the osmotic effects (Munns and Tester 2008).

Glycophytes, by contrast, occur in low sodium ecosystems, where sodium was and is the major limiting nutrient in herbivore diets, suggesting that their evolution reflects the fact that low sodium individuals experienced lower herbivory and had higher fitness.

Mar 13, 2023 · Halophytes are plants that grow in environments with high salt concentrations, effectively managing the salinity levels that would typically be detrimental to other plant life. Glycophytes, in contrast, are plants that thrive in low-salt environments and generally represent the majority of plant species, including most agricultural crops.

from populations of ‘glycophytes’. Glycophytes, by contrast, occur in low sodium ecosystems, where sodium was and is the major limiting nutrient in herbivore diets, suggesting that their evolution reflects the fact that low sodium individuals …

The glycophytes exposed to saline condition, show that near about 50% of total osmotic potential is contributed by the sugars (Ashraf and Harris 2004). Plant salt stress: adaptive responses, tolerance mechanism and bioengineering for salt tolerance

plants growing in nonsaline soils and bodies of fresh water. Mesophytes, hygrophytes and hydrophytes, and some xerophytes are glycophytes. Nearly all crop plants are glycophytes. Some glycophytes are able to adapt to salinization of the soil; …
