Background Soil salinization is a major threat to wheat production. It is essential to
understand the genetic basis of salt tolerance for breeding and selecting new salt-tolerant …

Salinity is one of the important abiotic factors for any crop management in irrigated as well
as rainfed areas, which leads to poor harvests. This yield reduction in salt affected soils can …

Key message Salt tolerance at germination and seedling growth stages was investigated.
GWAS revealed nine genomic regions with pleiotropic effects on salt tolerance. Salt tolerant …

The sodium and potassium concentrations in leaf and stem have been genetically studied
as physiological components of the vegetative and reproductive development in two …

A population of 186 recombinant inbred lines of bread wheat (Superhead# 2/Roshan) was
evaluated to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for yield and yield components under normal …

Salinity stress is a major limitation in barley production. Substantial genetic variation in
tolerance occurs among genotypes of barley, so the development of salt-tolerant cultivars is …

Genes that enable crops to limit Na+ accumulation in shoot tissues represent potential
sources of salinity tolerance for breeding. In barley, the HvNax4 locus lowered shoot Na+ …

Abiotic stresses such as low water availability and high salinity are major causes of cereal
crop yield losses and significantly impact on sustainability. Wheat and barley are two of the …

Key message The confirmation of a major locus associated with salt tolerance and mapping
of a new locus, which could be beneficial for improving salt tolerance in soybean. Abstract …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important food crops, however it is only
moderately tolerant to salinity stress. To improve wheat yield under saline conditions …
