Abstract:

Studies on salinity tolerance at early seedling stage of wheat against various salinity levels were carried out under controlled conditions. Five wheat varieties (TD1, TJ-83, Moomal, Sarsabz, Kiran-95) were obtained from diferent Agricultural Research Institutes of Sindh. The research was conducted in the Department of Crop Physiology, Faculty of Crop Production, Sindh Agriculture University,Tandojam, Sindh, Pakistan. In this research, seed germination and seedling growth were analyzed under a control environment. Each replication was treated with diferent NaCl solutions of 0 (control), 50, 100, 150 and 200 mol m -3. Wheat varieties viz; T.J-83, Sarsabz, and Moomal showed significantly superior germination and seedling growth, while T.D-1 and Kiran-95 exhibited reduced germination and seedling growth under 0 (control ), 50, 100, 150 and 200 mol m-3 salinity levels. It was observed that increased salinity from 50 to 200 mol m-3 significantly afected all the initial growth traits. However, seeds germination percentage root and shoot length were remained satisfactory as compared to control at 50 mol m-3 of NaCl salinity level.
