Chapter 1. Introduction: Definition, Evolutionary Trends, Classification, Historical Background, and Prospects of Halophytes in Agriculture -- Chapter 2. An Ecological Overview of Halophytes: Global Distribution, Floristic Diversity, Vegetation Composition and Utilization -- Chapter 3. Mangroves and Associated Flora: Prospects for Utilization in Coastal Agriculture -- Chapter 4. Seed Germination, Seed Bank and Reproductive Eco-physiology of Halophytes -- Chapter 5. Rare and Endangered Halophytes: Biodiversity, Economic Importance and Strategies for their Conservation -- Chapter 6. Halophytes at the Crossroads: Morphological, Anatomical, Physiological and Biochemical Responses to Salinity Stress -- Chapter 7. Ecophysiological Constraints under Salinity Stress: halophytes versus Non-halophytes -- Chapter 8. Exploring Eco-physiological Constraints in Halophytes and Innovative Strategies for Advancing Biosaline Agriculture -- Chapter 9. Engineering Salt Tolerance in Crops by CRISPR Mediated Genome Editing Technology:Target Traits, Current Perspective and Future Challenges -- Chapter 10. Mining Halophytic Genes for Developing Salt Tolerance in Crop Plants -- Chapter 11. Halotolerant Microbiome and their Role in Ameliorating Ecological Stress -- Chapter 12. Antioxidative Response Mechanisms in Halophytes: Their Role in Stress Defense -- Chapter 13. Genetic Treasures from Halophytes: Unlocking Salt Stress Tolerance Genes -- Chapter 14. Halophytic Genes to Edit Glycophyte's Genome for Salinity Tolerance -- Chapter 15. Halophytes as Alternative Food and Cash Crops for Future Sustainability -- Chapter 16. Exploring the Potential of Halophytes for Bioremediation of Salt-Affected Soils: A Review -- Chapter 17. Halophytic Crops as a Solution for Food Security, Land Rehabilitation, and Mitigating Future Water Crises by Utilizing Marginal Quality Waters -- Chapter 18. Domestication of Wild Halophytes for Profitable Biosaline Agriculture -- Chapter 19. Harnessing the Potential of Halophytes for Enhanced Resilience in Arid Agroecosystems -- Chapter 20. Synthesis: Prospects of Halophytes in Saline Agriculture to Achieve Food and Livestock Security.

This edited book deals with the distribution, classification and diversity of halophytic ecosystems, ecology of mangroves, coastal agroforestry, adaptations and mechanisms of salt tolerance in glycophytes verses halophytes, scope of biosaline agriculture, and potential utilization of halophytes in abiotic stressed environments in arid and semiarid regions and coastal areas. In this era of global population increase and global environmental change, there is need to provide food to the ever-growing population, combating climate change and conserving biodiversity. Keeping in view the rich biodiversity of halophytes, there is wide scope in food industry, phytoremediation, as well as a source of bioactive compounds including modern drugs. The new technologies for the cultivation of halophytes help to utilize saline and arid wastelands and also waterlogged areas sustainably for humans and the livestock. This book creates interest in educationists, researchers, industrialists, investors, soil and climate change scientists, development/extension workers, environmentalists, policy/decision makers, and government and non-government organizations. Also, the book serves as reference material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and international soil and agricultural scientists, ecologists, policy makers will also find this book immensely useful.
