e0“Forty two wheat (Triticum aestivum L) cultivars screened for their relative salt resistance raising seedlings in half-Hoagland solution (control) salinized with NaCl and maintained at 4, 8, 12 and 16 dsm-1 showed a wide range of salt resistance”
e4“The remaining 40 cultivars fell between the two extremes and were categorized into sal–sensitive, moderately salt – tolerant and salt – tolerant groups exhibiting more than 60%, 40 – 60% and less than 40% reduction respectively in shoot length at 12 EC dsm-1 over control”

- Observation The 42 wheat cultivars showed a wide range of salt resistance at seedling stage.
- Intervention effect Growth was stimulated in some cultivars at lower salinity levels (4 and 8 EC) relative to control.
- Intervention effect Growth was severely suppressed in most cultivars at higher salinity levels (12 and 16 EC) relative to control.
- Intervention effect Shoot growth was suppressed more than root growth under salinity.
- Observation A salinity level of 12 EC was critical for most wheat cultivars.
- Observation Cultivar HD–2160 kept a good stand even at 16 EC.
- Observation Cultivar IWP–72 showed the maximum sensitivity to salt stress among the 42 cultivars.
- Observation Cultivar HD–2160 showed the highest salt tolerance among the 42 cultivars.
- Intervention effect For the 40 remaining cultivars, sal–sensitive cultivars showed more than 60% shoot length reduction at 12 EC over control.
- Intervention effect For the 40 remaining cultivars, salt-tolerant cultivars showed less than 40% shoot length reduction at 12 EC over control.
