| Sumario: | <i>Kosteletzkya pentacarpos</i> (L.) Ledebour is a perennial facultative halophyte species from the Malvacea family that grows in coastal areas with high amounts of salt. The tolerance of <i>K. pentacarpos</i> to the high concentration of salt (0.5–1.5% salinity range of coastal saline land) has been widely studied for decades. Nowadays, with the dramatic development of the economy and urbanization, in addition to the salt, the accumulation of mate(loid)s in coastal soil is increasing, which is threatening the survival of halophyte species as well as the balance of wetland ecosystems. Recently, the capacity of <i>K. pentacarpos</i> to cope with either single heavy metal stress or a combination of multiple meta(loid) toxicities was studied. Hence, this review focused on summarizing the physiological and biochemical behaviors of <i>K. pentacarpos</i> that has been simultaneously exposed to the combination of several meta(loid) toxicities. How the salt accumulated by <i>K. pentacarpos</i> impacts the response to meta(loid) stress was discussed. We conclude that as a potential candidate for phytoremediation, <i>K. pentacarpos</i> was able to cope with various environmental constrains such as multiple meta(loid) stresses due to its relative tolerance to meta(loid) toxicity. |
