Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Under salt stress SARC wheat maintained higher turgor at low leaf water potentials than Pothowar.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress SARC wheat showed a higher capacity of osmotic adjustment than Pothowar.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased Na+, Cl- and K+ in the two wheat lines.
- Intervention effect Salinity increased glycinebetaine in the two wheat lines.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress the increase in Na+, Cl- and glycinebetaine was much higher in SARC than in Pothowar.
- Mechanism The SARC line has a physiological mechanism that confers higher salinity tolerance.
