TL;DR: The trials indicate that Casuarina obesa and CasUarina cristata, are the most promising tree species in Australia, which has Pre-deminantly semi-arid-arids climate and has extensive saline-alkaline soils.
Abstract: Reboisment of saline, alkali soils with useful tree species is engaging attention or investigators. Salinity tolerance testing of indigenous and exotic tree species is considered as a tool for the quick selection of suitable species. Australia, which has Pre-deminantly semi-arid-arid climate and has extensive saline-alkaline soils, is a potential source of suitable tree species. A list of promising Australian species for Northern India is provided. Quick appraisal through salinity tolerance at germinstion stage of Casuarina cristata , C. cunninghamiana , C. obesa and Melaleuca glomerata is described Acacia nilotied ssp indica , the indigenous species Which is highly recommended for salin areas, is evaluated for comparison. The trials indicate that Casuarina obesa and Casuarina cristata , are the most promising tree species Casuarina cunninghamiana and Melaleuca glomerata have limited scope. Further studies are recommended.

TL;DR: It is found that Al induced callose formation in the root tips of each species, but lignin was formed only in theroot tips of the most sensitive species, M. bracteata.
Abstract: We exposed the roots of nine Myrtaceae species (Melaleuca bracteata F. Muell., Melaleuca cajuputi Powell, Melaleuca glomerata F. Muell., Melaleuca leucadendra [L.] L., Melaleuca quinquenervia [Cav.] S.T. Blake, Melaleuca viridiflora Sol. ex Gaertner, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., Eucalyptus deglupta Bl., and Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden) to 1 mM Al in a nutrient solution for either 24 h or 20 days to evaluate their sensitivity to excess Al and to determine whether callose and lignin formation can be used as interspecific indicators of Al sensitivity. Inhibition of root elongation by Al varied among the species. Melaleuca leucadendra, M. cajuputi, E. grandis, M. quinquenervia, and E. deglupta were tolerant to 1 mM Al, whereas M. viridiflora, E. camaldulensis, M. glomerata, and M. bracteata were sensitive to 1 mM Al. We found that Al induced callose formation in the root tips of each species, but lignin was formed only in the root tips of the most sensitive species, M. bracteata. Root elongation at 1 mM Al was negatively correlated with Al-induced callose formation but not with the Al-induced lignin formation in the root tips. These results suggest that Al-induced callose formation, rather than lignin formation, can be used as an interspecific indicator of Al sensitivity.
