SALT TOLERANCE IN BARLEY: SOURCE OF RESISTANCE AND GRAIN YIELD STABILITY
Barley Research Department, Field Crops Research Institute, ARC, Giza, Egypt
Abstract
During 1999/2000 and 2000/2001, a total of 136 and 108 barley genotypes besides five Egyptian cultivars were evaluated for salt-tolerance in a series of field experiments at four locations. The soils of these locations were carefully selected to represent different degrees of salinity level. The obtained results showed marked variation among genotypes concerning the studied characters. The genotypes significantly differed in plant height, biological yield and grain yield. It was possible to identify some barley genotypes that could survive under salt stress conditions. Therefore, those genotypes proved again their ability to tolerate soil salinity. Yield stability parameters proved that ten genotypes appeared to be the most stable genotypes and could tolerate saline stress. Those genotypes are of great important in breeding point of view and should incorporate in the national breeding program for to increase yielding ability under salt stress environments
