The purpose of the current investigation was to study the effect of Ca²⁺ (0, 3.5 and 20 mM concentrations) on the antioxidant systems in the halophyte Cakile maritima under NaCl stress (0, 100, 200 and 400 mM NaCl). Plants treated with both moderate calcium (3.5 mM) and salt levels (100 mM) showed the maximum growth, and the addition of 20 mM calcium to the nutrient media did not significantly reduce the growth under the moderate salt treatment. The absence of calcium associated with high salt concentration induced a strong reduction of biomass production. The tolerance of C. maritima at moderate salinity and calcium was related with the lowest values of the parameters indicative of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, electrolyte leakage and hydrogen peroxide concentration). This was accompanied with a higher peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase activities. In contrast, in the absence of calcium, those enzymes showed the lowest activities under all salt treatments. As a whole, it can be noticed that salt tolerance was improved by moderate calcium concentration; however, the absence of calcium has a drastic effect on C. maritima.
