Well, it sounds like a good science project. All plants can tolerate a little salt, since salt is ubiquitous. Most plants can't tolerate much. There have been experiments to raise the salt tolerance of some agricultural plants. The white-leaved salt bush found in the Southwestern US uses salt to protect its leaves from excess sunlight. Now if you could make peanuts that tolerate salt well, you'll make a fortune. Self-salting peanuts!
