- Intervention effect Increasing salinity significantly reduced germination percentage.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity significantly reduced biomass accumulation.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity significantly reduced leaf chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Inhibition was greater at 12.5 dS m⁻¹, especially in sensitive genotypes.
- Intervention effect Salinity elevated hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde, indicating oxidative damage.
- Observation Salinity increased electrolyte leakage.
- Observation Tolerant Sakha 95 and Giza 171 increased several antioxidant enzyme activities.
- Observation Tolerant genotypes accumulated more phenolic and flavonoid compounds.
- Observation Salinity upregulated TaSOS1.
- Observation Salinity upregulated LEA-1.
- Recommendation Sakha 95 and Giza 171 were proposed as breeding resources for salinity tolerance.
