Pigment Content and Activity of Chloroplasts of Wheat Genotypes Grown Under Saline Environment

The purpose of this work was the study of salt tolerance of wheat from local selection. Twenty wheat
genotypes were grown under a naturally salinized (1.5-2.0%) soil conditions and studied during the
ontogenesis. The obtained results showed that the chlorophyll content and photochemical activity of
chloroplasts were reduced in all the genotypes by salinity. Genotypes Giymatli-2/17, Nurlu-99, Qobus-
tan, Azamatli-95, Saratovskaya-29 and Gyrmyzy bugda are more tolerant to salinity.
