Abstract
Halophyte plant Salicornia has potential uses in farming and environmental
management. Salicornia is one of the most important families of halophytes
and known for its exceptional salt tolerance. It thrives well in saline habitats
near coastal areas. A comprehensive review paper provides an overview of
Salicornia, including details on the impact of temperature and salinity on the
germination of different ecotypes, as well as the influence of day length and
salinity on seedling establishment. Salicornia L. presents a promising
opportunity for sustainable agriculture and economic development as it may
improve the lives and livelihoods of underprivileged groups while also
benefiting the environment through carbon sequestration, soil preservation,
and biodiversity preservation.
