Metabolic and Biochemical Aspects of Salt Tolerance

  • Chapter
Plants in Saline Environments

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 15))

Abstract

It seems a truism to say that every organism must have its biochemical and structural properties adapted so that it is able to function in its habitat. Nevertheless, when investigating the causal relationships between ecological conditions and biochemical responses, one ends up with information relevant to our understanding of the regulation of basic cell functions, such as membranes and metabolism. Apart from the immediate importance of studying major ecological problems such as salinity from the biochemical point of view, it should be possible to utilize the data to shed light on fundamental theoretical aspects of life.
