Effect of Salt (NaCl) Stress On Some Morphophysiological Signs Of Wheat Genotypes

The effect of increasing concentrations of NaCl (150 and 300 mM) on some morphophysiological signs (fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots, relative water content of leaves, total nitrogen, K+ and Na+ ) of Triticum aestivum (Giymatli-/17, Nurlu-99, Azamatli-95i) and Triticum durum L. (Garagylchyg-2, Barakatli95) was studied during grain filling. It was found that salinity results in the decrease in fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots, total nitrogen, content of K+ ions in all genotypes and at the same time the increase in the content of Na+ ions. The obtained results showed that Barakatli-95 and Azamatli-95 genotypes are more salttolerant.
