Actually I think breeding salt tolerant plants would be significantly easier than trying to improve desalination. Although we still have the solve the problem of salt build up. But perhaps it will be easier to remove it from soil and plant matter than from water. In any case the immediate application is to use it places where the soil is already salty. Better desalination wouldn't help there.
