Temporal Changes in Biochemical Responses to Salt Stress in Three Salicornia Species.

ABSTRACT: Halophytes adapt to salinity using different biochemical response mechanisms. Temporal measurements of biochemical parameters over a period of exposure to salinity may clarify the patterns and kinetics of stress responses in halophytes. This study aimed to evaluate short-term temporal changes in shoot biomass and several biochemical variables, including the contents of photosynthetic pigments, ions (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺), osmolytes (proline and glycine betaine), oxidative stress markers (H₂O₂ and malondialdehyde), and antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase) activities of three halophytic Salicornia species (S. persica, S. europaea, and S. bigelovii
