Genotypic differences in the mineral metabolism of plants adapted to extreme habitats

  • Chapter
Genetic Aspects of Plant Nutrition

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 8))

Summary

Halophytes, metallophytes, serpentine plants, calcicoles, and calcifuges are adapted to soil conditions which are deleterious for other plants. Some mechanisms responsible for these adaptations are described. The respective changes in the genome for these alterations of the mineral metabolism are probably not too far-reaching, because already intraspecific differentiation may lead to resistant ecotypes. On the other hand it seems likely that some families or species are favoured in occupying extreme soil types in consequence of their basic physiological features (i.e. Chenopodiaceae, Poaceae in saline habitats, Brassicaceae, Caryophyllaceae on heavy metal soils).
