Abstract

[...]the use of genotypes with high-yield and more resistant to biotic and abiotic stress has gradually replaced indigenous varieties and local genotypes, endangering access and exploitation of resources and food production for the future [3]. [...]low genetic diversity may reduce the opportunity to identify and use new sources responding to future challenges, including new pests and pathogens, as well as climate changes [4]. Today, soil salinity has increased due to unconventional cultivation and irrigation. [...]the level of arable land increased dramatically from 8 million to more than 220 million hectares, of which about 45 million hectares are salt-affected to varying degrees [5,6]. Salicornia sp. is widespread across Iran, mainly in central, western, and northern parts. [...]native Salicornia species selection might be a viable agricultural development strategy against Iran’s climate change. [...]a low number of morphological characteristics, phenotypic flexibility, breeding, and hybridization systems are amongst the factors that make Salicornia challenging to distinguish precisely in an area [20]. [...]the commercial importance and lack of description make Salicornia a priority for the circumscription of species, subtypes, ecotypes, and natural hybridization to develop it as a new crop [21].
