How long would it take our usual white rice, to be slowly introduced to increased levels of salt, to slowly selectively mutate it until it can grow in open salt

How long would it take our usual white rice, to be slowly introduced to increased levels of salt, to slowly selectively mutate it until it can grow in open salt water seas? It doesn’t sound impossible, as I know this has been done to algae
- VBprogrammer 6y agoHalophytes is the key word you are looking for if you want to do more research into this. Generally sea water is a very high bar, however there are some interesting looking developments for places with high ground water salt levels, which is typically a big problem with respect to desertification.
