Salinity is a consistent factor of crop productivity loss in the world and in particular arid and
semi-arid areas where the soil salinity and saline water are major problems. Plants employ …

Salinity limits the production capabilities of agricultural soils in large areas of the world. Both
breeding and screening germplasm for salt tolerance encounter the following limitations:(a) …

Field-based trials and genotype evaluation until yielding stage are two important steps in
improving the salt tolerance of crop genotypes and identifying what parameters can be …

Wheat improvement for drought tolerance requires reliable assessment of drought tolerance
variability among segregating populations. One hundred and fifty-one F3 and F4 families of …

Salinity is among the most important abiotic stresses, which negatively affect growth, nutrient
uptake and yield of crop plants. Application of different micronutrients, particularly zinc (Zn) …

Understanding of the physiological responses of crop plants to salinity stress is of
paramount importance for selection of genotypes with improved tolerance to salt stress. Two …

Most of the required increases in food production over the next decades are expected to be
achieved through increases in crop yield. As wheat is essential for food security it is worrying …

Barley is used as a model cereal to decipher salt tolerance mechanisms due to its simpler
genome than wheat and enhanced salt tolerance compared to rice and wheat. In the present …

The wheat gene pool has a tremendous amount of genetic diversity for salinity tolerance.
During the last few decades, several wheat genetic stocks have been developed showing all …

Drought is a common yield limiting factor in wheat production and has become a significant
threat to global food security. Root system is the organ responsible for water uptake from soil …
