The growth of the halophyte Sesuvium portulacastrum, commonly known as sea purslane, is impeded by NaCl only at high (600–1000 mM) concentration. Therefore, the goal of this investigation was to identify the mechanisms which set the limit of the salt resistance of S. portulacastrum. 21‐day‐old cutti...
