Summary
<i>Salicornia</i> species are halophytic plants that thrive in environments with moderate to high salinity. Owing to its high nutritional value and diverse bioactive constituents, <i>Salicornia</i> holds promise for applications in the food, feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and bioenergy sectors. Understanding its salt tolerance mechanisms is important for developing crops suited to saline soils and water. Recent studies have revealed that <i>Salicornia</i> adapts to salinity through diverse physiological, biochemical, and molecular strategies. Despite these advances, a comprehensive synthesis of existing knowledge remains absent, hindering its effective application in crop improvement. In this review, recent advances in the understanding of <i>Salicornia</i>'s salinity tolerance are synthe
