Step-by-step explanation

Halophytes need to successfully control ion homeostasis by vacuole transporters and sodium sequestration in order to live in high saline environments. In saline conditions, halophytes use Na +, Cl -, and K + to sustain shot osmotic strain, which is controlled through synthesis of suitable solutes in the case of glycophytes. Because of their capacity to exclude Na+ at the root level, sequester Na+ to the vacuole, exude excess salt through specialized leaf glands, and retain osmotic capacity by the deposition of compatible solutes, halophytes have the ability to survive and complete their life cycle under high salinity.
