Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Shoot and root growth of wheat genotypes was reduced by the combination of salinity and water-logging in solution culture.
- Association Growth reduction under salinity was associated with increased leaf Na+ and Cl- concentrations.
- Association Growth reduction under salinity was associated with decreased leaf K+ concentration and K+:Na+ ratio.
- Observation The wheat genotypes differed significantly in growth and leaf ionic composition.
- Observation The genotype Aqaab was selected as salinity x water-logging resistant based on shoot fresh weight relative to control.
- Observation The genotype MH-97 was selected as salinity x water-logging sensitive based on shoot fresh weight relative to control.
- Intervention effect In the soil experiment the maximum grain yield reduction followed water-logging at stem elongation plus grain filling, then at grain filling, booting and stem elongation stages, respectively.
- Association Salinity intensified the effect of water-logging at all growth stages in the soil experiment.
- Recommendation Existing genetic variation in wheat for salinity x water-logging resistance can be explored using relative shoot fresh weight as a selection criterion.
- Recommendation Field irrigation should be scheduled to avoid temporary water-logging at the sensitive stages of wheat growth.
