Exact excerpt

A University of Newcastle-led global study has produced the most complete genetic picture yet of a salt-loving plant with the potential to help grow food in some of the world's harshest environments. Published in Nature Communications, the study sequenced the genomes of six species of Salicornia, an edible salt-tolerant plant. The study identified genes linked to salt tolerance, clarified how different species evolved and are related, and created breeding-ready seed collections to support future crop development.
