| dc.description.abstract | To evaluate different wheat genotypes under artificially developed saline condition
fifteen wheat genotypes were tested in two salinity levels (control and 12 dS m-1) at
the research field of the department of Crop Physiology and Ecology, Hajee
Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during December
2016 to March 2017. Wheat genotypes showed earlier days to anthesis, greater
stability of flag leaf chlorophyll and higher level of proline in flag leaf under saline
condition compare to control. Plant height, tiller numbers at different days and yield
attributes were reduced due to salinity compare to control. But the magnitude of
reduction of these parameters due to salinity was not similar for all wheat genotypes.
Salt tolerance index (STI) based on yield per plant indicated a wide range of
difference in salt tolerance among the wheat genotypes. At saline condition, BAW
1194, BARI Gom 25, BAW 1203, BARI Gom 28, BAW 1208, BAW 1195 and BAW
1222 showed more than 0.8 STI, the wheat genotypes Shatabdi, BARI Gom 26, BARI
Gom 29, BARI Gom 30, BAW 1182, BAW 1200, BAW 1202 and BAW 1209
provided less than 0.80 STI and the order of tolerance based on grain yield was BAW
