Abstract
Seven flax cultivars, grown in a greenhouse in nonsaline, moderately saline, and strongly saline (1, 6, and 12 dS m −1 ) soils had greater dry weights of plant tops on moderately saline treatment. Tops had higher K + and Na + concentrations on the saline treatments, but K:Na ratios decreased with increasing salinity. Tops were less salt tolerant than roots. Cultivars responded differently to the treatments, but appeared, overall, similar in salt tolerance. Key words: Flax cultivars, ion concentrations, ion ratios, soil salinity, semi-arid region
