Description
Summary:Salinity of soils or water poses an increasing threat to food production due to climate change. Plant breeding programs were applied to improve salt tolerance in new wheat genotypes to overcome this problem. The aim of this research work is to estimate the realized improvement in salt tolerance of the selected genotypes through plant breeding programs. The comparison experiments were conducted in salinized soils at two locations for two years as compared with two local cultivars. All the selected genotypes derived from F2 populations after six cycles of exposure to high salinity level were tested for salt tolerance during all growth stage. At harvest stage, seed yield and its components were studied for the comparison. Results showed that there were significant differences between all selected genotypes and local eultivars in their overall sensitivities to soil salinity. All selected genotypes were superior in seed yield and its components at maturity to those of the local cultivars at the two location and ye
