“…Crespo have a high fatty acid content and potential for animal consumption and/or biofuel production [26]. Sarcocornia fruticosa (L.) A.J.Scott can produce a high amount of biomass with suitable lignocellulosic materials adequate for bioethanol production [27]. At the same time, S. perennis can be used to phytoremediate metals in polluted soils due to its high capacity to accumulate ions and cope with oxidative stress related to metal accumulation in plant tissues [28].…”

Sarcocornia A. J. Scott is a halophytic edible succulent plant belonging to the Amaranthaceae family. To date, the genus includes 28 species distributed worldwide in saline environments, usually salt marshes. Sarcocornia (Scott) is similar to Salicornia (L.), which has a recognized commercial value in morphological and taxonomical traits. Species of both genera are commonly named samphire or glassworts in Europe, and their fleshy shoots are commercialized under their traditional names. Due to their nutritional, organoleptic and medicinal properties, Sarcocornia species have a high economic potential in various biotechnology sectors. Being highly tolerant to salt, they can be cultivated in saline conditions, and dissimilar to Salicornia, they are perennial, i.e., they can be harvested year-round. Therefore, Sarcocornia species are considered promising gourmet vegetables to be explored in the context of climate change, soil and water salinization and eco-sustainability. We hereby put together and reviewed the most relevant information on Sarcocornia taxonomy, morphology, nutritional and pharmacological properties, uses in ethnomedicine, potential applications in biotechnology, and propagation strategies.

“…Saline grasslands, especially saline steppe, include xero-halophytic species that could be used as renewable resources for various fiber industries. It was shown that Suaeda fruticosa could be used in the production of high-quality lightweight paper (Salem et al 2019). According to physical and chemical characters and composition (good thermal and acoustic insulation, good mechanical properties, low density, high specific stiffness, biodegradability, eco-friendliness, toxicologically harmless), the fiber plants, including range of halophytes, represent great potential for use in plastic (as reinforcement in polymers), automotive, and packaging industries (Salem et al 2019).…”

Saline habitats as primary type of ecologically valuable ecosystems play an important role in the range of ecosystem services from supporting and regulating to provisioning and cultural. The aim of this chapter is to overview the main groups of ecosystem services relevant to saline ecosystems. Main characteristics of saline habitats include the presence of salt-tolerant plants and halophytic vegetation occurring on different salt-affected soils. Halophytes have certain commercial use and value, as food, fodder, and source of fiber, highly nutritious oilseeds, biomass, etc. Of particular interest is potential of halophytes to produce bioactive metabolites, which can be used in production of pharmaceuticals and food additives and natural herbal remedies and similar products.

“…It has also good potential as a quality animal feed supplement in view of its high crude protein content (Zurayk and Baalbaki, 1996). Besides, Ghabriche et al (2017) have studied its cadmium toxicity response and then its phytoremediation uses and Salem et al (2019) highlighted its considerable lignocellulosic biomass which can be used in bioethanol and high-quality paper productions.…”

The present work describes an efficient micropropagation and callus induction protocol of Limbarda crithmoïdes L. (Asteraceae), a halophyte species with medicinal and horticultural interests. The objective was to identify the culture media that support the best organogenesis and callogenic expressions of four types of aerial explants; nodal and internodal segments and leaf portions, by varying the mineral composition of twenty culture media by adding increasing concentrations of Na+ (from 0-100 mM) and K+ (from 0-50 mM). After two months of culture, parameters relating to the various expressions of organogenesis and callogenesis were measured. Results showed that the K+ and Na+ interactions affect the explants development. The combination of high concentrations of Na+ (50, 100 mM) and K+ (50 mM) ions allowed the most important regeneration of the axillary shoots (70.6-100%), root neoformation (82.6-96.1%) and callus induction (76.3-100%). Rooted plantlets with well-developed axillary shoots have been successfully acclimatized with a 93% of survival rate. The selected media would allow a large-scale multiplication of this medicinal species, without adding exogenous phytohormones, and could be used for the micropropagation of other threatened halophyte species or for the production of callus; rich in secondary metabolites.
