Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Morphological traits generally decreased under salt treatments except root length.
- Intervention effect Root length increased at both salt concentrations.
- Observation Ujala-16 had the highest reported leaf carotenoids content at 998.32 mg/g fresh leaf weight.
- Observation Inqalab-91 followed Ujala-16 in leaf carotenoids at 995.99 mg/g fresh leaf weight.
- Observation Shafaq-06 had lower carotenoids content at 825.65 mg/g fresh leaf weight.
- Observation Shafaq-06 had the highest root weight under 15dS/m NaCl.
- Observation Galaxy-13 had the highest root length in pooled pairwise comparisons.
- Association Carotenoids content contributed least to plant height in linear regression.
- Observation Chlorophyll b had heritability of 99.99%.
- Observation Fresh stem weight had genetic advance of 309.870%.
- Recommendation The authors suggest selecting wheat genotypes by root length to develop salt tolerant, higher yielding lines.
