Prosopis alba (Grisebach), vulgarmente conocido como algarrobo blanco en Argentina, es una planta leñosa con amplia distribución en Sudamérica: Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brasil, Bolivia, Chile y Perú. Son árboles pioneros, heliófilos, adaptados a condiciones de climas áridos y semiáridos con suelos salinos. Se la define como una especie multipropósito de gran importancia regional debido a la diversidad de usos tanto madereros como alimenticios, forrajeros y medicinales; brinda servicios ecosistémicos y mejora los ambientes, teniendo potencial para restaurar áreas degradadas y catalizar el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de producción. El objetivo de esta revisión es recuperar y trascender el conocimiento acumulado sobre su taxonomía, caracteres botánicos, distribución y bioecología, así como los bienes y servicios que proporciona esta especie forestal de gran interés para Argentina.

Abstract This research consists of the taxonomic-floristic treatment of taxa of Mimosoideae occurring in the Brazilian Chaco. The specimens analyzed were collected from 2004 to 2012 in Chaco remnants located in southwestern Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Mimosoideae is represented by 39 taxa belonging to 14 genera; among the most representative, Mimosa (16 taxa) and Prosopis (4 taxa) are highlighted. Chloroleucon chacoense, Mimosa centurionis and Prosopis alba are new records for the Brazilian Flora. Prosopis nigra has its occurrence expanded. Mimosoideae is the second subfamily in species richness compared with other subfamilies of Leguminosae studied in the Brazilian Chaco. This work includes morphological descriptions, identification keys, illustrations and taxonomic comments.

Prosopis alba (algarrobo) is one of the most important salt-tolerant legumes used in the food and furniture industries. The effects of salinity on some growth and physiological parameters in algarrrobo seedlings were investigated. 17-Day-old seedlings were subjected to three salt treatments by adding NaCl to the growth medium in 50 mmol.L-1 increments every 24 h until the final concentrations of 0, 300 and 600 mmol.L-1 were reached. Only the highest NaCl concentration affected all of the considered parameters. Thus, 600 mmol.L-1 NaCl caused a significant reduction in root and shoot growth, but an increase in the root/shoot ratio. Leaf relative water content, nitrate content and nitrate reductase activity in leaves and roots were also decreased. At 300 and 600 mmol.L-1, the glycinebetaine content was significantly increased in both leaves and roots but this was not found for proline content. Total soluble carbohydrates increased only in roots. The results suggest that glycinebetaine enhancement may be important for osmotic adjustment in Prosopis alba under salinity stress.
