Salt-tolerant plants can be used to produce economically important materials such as essential oils, gums, oils, and resins, pulp and fiber, and bioactive compounds. Further, salt- tolerant plants can be cultivated for landscape use and irrigated with saline water, thereby conserving fresh water for other uses.
