“…Furthermore, halophytes display complex signal transduction pathways, which regulate gene expression and protein synthesis under salinity stress [46,47]. ROS, Ca ++ , K + , polyamines, and various hormones have emerged as important signals for the regulation of the salt tolerance responses of halophytes [48][49][50][51].…”

“…Halophytes can influence the characteristics of their habitats in multiple ways, which can help in the restoration and improvement of saline habitats. For instance, halophytes can improve soil quality by increasing soil organic matter, reducing soil salinity, enhancing soil aggregation and porosity, and stimulating soil microbial activity and enzyme activity [51,[122][123][124]. Halophytes can also affect habitats' water balance by modifying evapotranspiration, runoff, permeation, and groundwater recharge [125][126][127].…”

Halophytes are naturally salt-tolerant plants with immense potential to become alternate crops for saline lands. While their economic benefits have gained increasing attention, often, the roles of halophytes in addressing different climate change-related issues are overlooked. Halophytes can be a renewable resource for clean ‘carbon-neutral’ energy by serving as biofuel or biogas feedstock, help in the sequestration of rising CO2 as well as the phytoremediation of various pollutants, can be a good source of food and fodder thereby help in achieving food security in arid/saline areas, can help in protection and biodiversity conservation in various ecosystems, and can provide livelihood to poor local communities inhabiting barren lands. This review also attempts to highlight various usages of halophytes in connection with a global change perspective. However, there are still many challenges such as economic viability, customer preferences, environmental impacts, and scale-up challenges, which need further research, innovation, effective policies, and collaboration. In general, this review provides a synthesis of various biological, environmental, and socioeconomic aspects of halophytes to fully exploit the potential of halophytes for human welfare and combating global climate changes.

“…Phytodesalination is a plant-based method for removing excess salt from contaminated areas and reclaiming land for farming [3]. It is a low-cost, environmentally friendly way to clean salt-affected places utilizing a variety of plants, depending on the degree of the pollution [16].…”

Recent Trends in Microbial Approaches for Soil Desalination

Soil salinization has become a major problem for agriculture worldwide, especially because this phenomenon is continuously expanding in different regions of the world. Salinity is a complex mechanism, and in the soil ecosystem, it affects both microorganisms and plants, some of which have developed efficient strategies to alleviate salt stress conditions. Currently, various methods can be used to reduce the negative effects of this problem. However, the use of biological methods, such as plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), phytoremediation, and amendment, seems to be very advantageous and promising as a remedy for sustainable and ecological agriculture. Other approaches aim to combine different techniques, as well as the utilization of genetic engineering methods. These techniques alone or combined can effectively contribute to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture.

“…Halophytes are expected to respond better than glycophytes in decontamination of polluted soils. They are ideal candidates for phytoextraction, or phytostabilisation of heavy metal-contaminated soils, especially those affected by salinity [65][66][67][68][69]. Recrerohalophytes are of particular interest, as they may remove not only the excess of salt ions but also other toxic elements such as cadmium, zinc, lead, or copper, through the process called 'phytoexcretion' [65].…”

Constitutive and Induced Salt Tolerance Mechanisms and Potential Uses of Limonium Mill. Species

Limonium is one of the most interesting and biodiverse genera of halophytes, with many species adapted to saline environments. Limonium species have a promising potential as cultivated minor crops as many have ornamental value, or are already used as medicinal plants. Other species are marketed as gourmet food or can be used for decontamination of polluted soils. Design and implementation of specific breeding programmes are needed to fully realise this potential, based on the vast genetic variation and high stress tolerance of wild species within the genus. Most Limonium species are halophytes, but many are also resistant to drought, especially those from the Mediterranean and other arid regions. Such species constitute attractive models for basic research on the mechanisms of stress tolerance, both constitutive and induced. As typical recretohalopyhtes, with excretive salt glands, Limonium species possess remarkable morpho-anatomical traits. Salt tolerance in this genus relies also on ion accumulation in the leaves, the concomitant use of diverse osmolytes for osmotic adjustment, and the activation of efficient antioxidant systems.
