Photosythetic responses of two salt-tolerant plants, Tamarix gallica and Arthro...
Sghaier, Dhouha Belhaj; Pedro, Sílvia; Duarte, Bernardo; Caçador, Isabel; Sleimi, NoomeneIn recent years, the level of arsenic in soil has increased dramatically in many countries, which has raised concern to develop new environmentally friendly techniques to solve problems such as arsenic, which is highly soluble and has toxic effects. It is an environmental issue and a global health matter because of its poisonous and carcinogenic characteristics. It is known that arsenic influenced farmland and ...
Tissue Localization and Distribution of As and Al in the Halophyte Tamarix gall...
Sghaier, Dhouha Belhaj; Pedro, Silvia; Diniz, Mário Sousa; Duarte, Bernardo; Caçador, Isabel; Sleimi, NoomeneInformation on localization of Al and As in Tamarix gallica is required in order to better understand the detoxification mechanisms that confer tolerance in this halophyte plant species. Plants were subjected to different Al and As concentrations with and without salt supplementation. High concentrations of As and Al have been found in Tamarix gallica leaves and roots without symptoms of toxicity to the plant, ...
Growth, chlorophyll fluorescence and mineral nutrition in the halophyte Tamarix...
Sghaier, Dhouha Belhaj; Duarte, Bernardo; Bankaji, Insaf; Caçador, Isabel; Sleimi, NoomeneTrace metal elements can cause various environmental and health issues due to their accumulation and integration in the food chain. In the present study, we determined the major toxic effects of arsenic on physiological behaviour of plants. For this propose, several combinations of high salinity and arsenic (As) concentrations were applied to the halophytic shrub, Tamarix gallica, by growing for three months wi...
