TLDR
The osmotic potentials of the soils where the four halophytes occur naturally were more negative than those allowing seeds to germinate after osmosis stress, which promoted an increase in the rate of recovery germination which, in Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Sarcocornia fruticosa, doubled their rates of germination compared to distilled water controls.About:

Salinity effects on germination, growth, and seed production of the halophyte Cakile maritima
TL;DR: Salt tolerance of C maritima at the vegetative stage seemed to be mainly based on: (i) the capacity to preserve the biomass production within the range of optimal salt concentrations; (ii) the ability to maintain the tissue water status; and (iii) the efficiency of selective K+ uptake, in spite of high Na+ concentration in the medium.

Strategies for adaptation of Suaeda physophora, Haloxylon ammodendron and Haloxylon persicum to a saline environment during seed-germination stage.
TL;DR: The effect of NaCl on seed germination was due to both osmotic stress and ion toxicity for the three species, and high soil salinity and a high content of Na+ in seeds may induce more seeds to remain ungerminated in S. physophora and H. persicum in certain saline regions.

Osmotic and ionic effects of NaCl on germination, early seedling growth, and ion content of Atriplex halimus (Chenopodiaceae)
TL;DR: The effects of salt and osmotic stresses on the germination processes in seeds of the perennial halophyte species Atriplex halimus L were compared using iso-osmotic concentrations of NaCl and mannitol, and inhibition of germination is reversible.

Effect of salinity on germination, seedling emergence, seedling growth and ion accumulation of a euhalophyte Suaeda salsa in an intertidal zone and on saline inland
TL;DR: For S. salsa from the intertidal zone there appears to be selection for slower growth and producing more brown seeds, which may determine the natural distributions of S.alsa populations in different saline environments.

TL;DR: Seed germination was strongly inhibited by NaCl, although seed viability and germination capacity were not affected by salt pre-treatments, suggesting a protective role against high salinity stress for this amino acid.

The effect of salinity and temperature on the germination of polymorphic seeds and growth of atriplex triangularis willd.
Mohammed A. Khan,Irwin A. Ungar +1 more
TL;DR: Polymorphic seeds of Atriplex triangularis were germinated at various temperatures and salinity regimes and the rate and percentage of germination decreased with increased salinity stress, and early seedling growth in larger seeds at lower salinity and at high-day and low-night temperatures.
