Hello Everyone,

Sorry to bother you all on a Monday but I am looking for
information/references on salt tolerant (agricultural) plants and I thought
I would see if anyone knew of any.  I am a Ph.D. student at Simon Fraser
University in Canada and I am working at Caesarea in Israel.  The reservoir
at the site appears to have become slightly brackish in the later period of
its Roman occupation (3rd & 4th centuries) and could have only been used
for industrial or agricultural purposes.  I already have evidence for
barley being the majority crop during this period but I would greatly
appreciate any assistance anyone could offer in the way of references or
information on any other salt/drought tolerant species.

Thank you!
