Abstract
Salt tolerant plants have been the subject of considerable interest and study by scientists of arid regions. Ability of these plants to survive and grow in saline habitats has been attributed to such characteristics as: development of high osmotic pressures to counteract the soil moisture stresses, ability to utilize waters of high salinity, and possession of a protoplasm resistant to toxic ion accumulation.
