| description | The genus <i>Salsola</i> L. (Russian thistle, Saltwort) includes halophyte plants and is considered one of the largest genera in the family Amaranthaceae. The genus involves annual semi-dwarf to dwarf shrubs and woody tree. The genus <i>Salsola</i> is frequently overlooked, and few people are aware of its significance. The majority of studies focus on pollen morphology and species identification. <i>Salsola</i> has had little research on its phytochemical makeup or biological effects. Therefore, we present this review to cover all aspects of genus <i>Salsola,</i> including taxonomy, distribution, differences in the chemical constituents and representative examples of isolated compounds produced by various species of genus <i>Salsola</i> and in relation to their several reported biological activities for use in folk medicine worldwide. |
