Aeluropus lagopoides is salt secreting halophytic perennial grass that commonly grows in coastal regions. Under excessive saline conditions, A. lagopoides is able to thrive and completes its life cycle. It has developed various adaptive mechanisms to tolerate harsh environmental conditions. Aeluropus follow the novel mechanism of salt secretion by excreting Na from the leaf sheath and stem of the plant in the form of salt crystals. Various salt responsive genes and transcription factors have been studied under salinity stress in A. lagopoides. Economically important phytochemicals are also present in this plant, thus, making it industrially important. Utilization of salt stress responsive genes and transcription factors in developing salt tolerant transgenics crops can also provide significant benefits, and potentially boost the agricultural industry for sustainable growth and production.
獐毛是一种分泌盐分的盐生多年生草本植物，通常生长在沿海地区。在盐分过高的条件下，獐毛能够茁壮成长并完成其生命周期。它已经形成了各种适应机制来耐受恶劣的环境条件。獐毛遵循一种新的盐分分泌机制，通过以盐晶体的形式从植物的叶鞘和茎中排出钠。在盐胁迫下，已经对獐毛中的各种盐响应基因和转录因子进行了研究。这种植物还含有具有重要经济价值的植物化学物质，因此在工业上具有重要意义。利用盐胁迫响应基因和转录因子培育耐盐转基因作物也能带来显著益处，并有可能推动农业产业实现可持续增长和生产。
