Succulence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Succulence is considered one of the most striking anatomical features involved in salt tolerance in halophytes. Widely found in many halophytic botanical families, it has multiple functions in salt tolerant plants. Succulence is involved in the dilution of salts that tend to accumulate in excess, acts as water reservoir and plays a key-role in metabolic processes from C4 photosynthesis. Succulence builds up as a developed water-storage tissue; in some situations, palisade tissue may contribute to the succulent appearance of leafs—especially in C3 species.
