In Vitro-Selected Clones of the Halophyte Arthrocaulon macrostachyum Display Enhanced Salinity Stress Tolerance

Halophytes hold significance for soil desalination and co-cultivation in farming systems.A major impediment to their use is the standardization of their performance, since halophytes are mainly wild plants, in addition to the need for a constant supply of the most suitable species.In this work, using highly salt-tolerant clones of Arthrocaulon macr
