Part 1.  Haplotype and Saline Environment -- 1. Haplotype Definition and Classification -- 2. Saline Environments. - Part 2. Major  Anatomical Adaptations -- 3. Succulence -- 4.Tracheoidioblasts (spiral cells) and Stererdes (spicular cells) -- 5. Salt Secretion -- 6. Kranz Anatomy -- 7. Successive Cambia -- 8. Bulliform Cells.

This book describes important anatomical adaptations in halophytes, based on a large review of relevant literature (since the 17th century) and recent research findings. Scientists involved in the study of plant biology, from a molecular to ecosystemic level, will find information about all major structural strategies of salt tolerant plants.   The book starts with an introductory theoretical background, where several aspects related to the definition and classification of halophytes and saline environments are included. Major anatomical adaptations are then grouped around major concepts: succulence, tracheoidioblasts, salt secretion, Kranz anatomy, successive cambia, and bulliform cells. Each of them is treated following a general scheme: introductory considerations, anatomical basis, and ecological implications; a review of relevant literature is then conducted and the text is supported by a large number of figures, especially ink drawings and color micrographs..
