Solution(By Examveda Team)

Salt-resistant tomato species is Solanum cheesmaniae.
A salt-tolerant plant that grows in soil or waters of high salinity, coming into contact with saline water through its roots or by salt sprays, such as in saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs and seashores.
Tomato is moderately tolerant to salinity by regulating water and ionic homeostasis according to Martinez-Rodriguez et al. High salinity adversely affects seed germination and inhibit growth and fruit development in tomato.
Solanum cheesmaniae, is one of two main species of wild tomatoes found on the Galápagos Islands. It is a robust, perennial, herbaceous plant that at first grows erect, later lying. It is often found in rocky coastal sites and has habits of growing on the shore or inland.
