Hibiscus tiliaceus, a mangrove associate, is an ideal plant for studying salt tolerance and adaptation since it can inhabit both inland and littoral habitats. In this study, we explored the expression profiles of H. tiliaceus under salt stress using a full-length cDNA microarray. Four hundred eighty-six salt-responsive unigenes were identified in H. tiliaceus; 224 of which had high sequence similarity to Arabidopsis. Many genes identified are known to be salt-stress responsive. Furthermore we examined the physiological performance of H. tiliaceus under salt stress. Physiological analysis displayed decrease in ratio of K+/Na+ and negative influence on photosynthesis of H. tiliaceus. Our study indicated that to survive under high salinine intertidal environments, H. tiliaceus evolved its own mechanisms to re-gain both ionic and osmotic homeostasis through coordinated engagement of genes associated with gene transcription, signaling, and down-stream cell transport and detoxification pathways.
