Abstract This purpose of this project is to investigate and improve the salt tolerance of broccoli plants using plant acclimation and to measure their effects afterward. This project could be used as an alternative to traditional, large-scale desalination plants and could be used to supplement watering with salt water rather than with fresh water.
