They contain high amount of secondary metabolites or phytoconstituents. Correlation between the phytoconstituents and the bioactivity of plant is desirable to know for the synthesis of compounds with specific activities to treat various health ailments and chronic diseases as well. The study of the halophytic plant for the preliminary screening of different phytoconstituents is important.
