Although previous studies have found that germination of
halophytes can occur in a variety of salinities, many halophytic species favour conditions where NaCl concentration is less than that of seawater (600 mM) and require optimal temperatures for successful germination (Khan and Ungar 1984).

POXs are involved in many functions in plant cells such as ROS generation and regulation, [H.sub.2][O.sub.2] level regulation, oxidation of various substrates and also involved in loosening of the cross-linking of cell wall compounds [38] The present induced increase in both APX and POX was comparable with some
halophytes [39, 40].

The world's irrigated acreage could be increased by about 50 percent by reusing saline water and salinized crop fields for
halophytes, said University of Arizona environmental sciences professor Edward Glenn.
The SRBC scientists are set to create a test ecosystem by planting two crops of
