Abstract Effect of increasing application of NaCl on germination, root and shoot dry weight at
early growth stage, and concentrations of potassium (K) and sodium (Na) was studied in 16 …

Genetics of salinity tolerance in spring wheat was investigated using the six b P2, F,, F2 and
back crosses, BC, and BC2) of a cross between Alexandria KRL1-4 (salt tolerant) varieties …

The performance of reciprocal F1 hybrids and their parents, Pato and Tobari 66, was
evaluated at 4 salinity levels between O and 150 mol/m3 NaCl, using hydroponic culute …

More than 67% of Australian cropping land is at risk of becoming saline and agriculture is
increasingly utilising salt effected land (Rengasamy, 2002). Salinity has a significant impact …

To determine limits of tolerance, provide information about genetic diversity, and explore
potential as progenitors for a salt-tolerant wheat improvement program, we collected several …

Soil salinity is a key problem in cereal crops production that affects the metabolic activities
as well as plant growth ultimately leading to plant death. Toxic effect of salinity can lead to …

Salinity and sodicity are important soil constraints to yield. A considerable amount of effort
has been expended in evaluating germplasm to improve salinity tolerance in wheat based …

Molecular markers provide a rapid approach to breeding for desired traits. To use them, it is
necessary to determine the linkagebetween quantitative trait loci (QTL) and such markers …

In order to determine the magnitude of genetic variation for salinity tolerance in spring
wheat, broad sense heritabilities of different yield components and seed yield were …

A diverse collection of wheat germplasm, consisting of 100 bread wheat lines with varying
levels of salinity tolerance were evaluated based on incomplete block design (lattice) with …
