Highlights
The salt concentration in the soil, when reached a level that is harmful for growth, salinity is said to be developed
Salt tolerance is a mixture of different morpho-physiological processes which are controlled by many genes across the wheat genome
A total of Sixty one Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) primer pairs were used to find DNA markers linked with salinity tolerance
Summary
The salt concentration in the soil, when reached a level that is harmful for growth, salinity is said to be developed. Since many of salt affected soils are beyond the reach of conventional reclamation techniques, a major scientific thrust has been aimed at developing suitable salt tolerant cultivars to bring these lands into agricultural productivity. Wheat tolerance to salinity varies with the stage of plant growth, nature and level of salinity, duration of stress and is affected by soil moisture, climate, nutrition and management practices. Different physiological traits such as selectivity for potassium, exclusion and compartmentation of sodium and chloride ions an osmotic adjustment by the accumulation of organic solutes have all been related to salt tolerance of wheat crop plants [3]. They have been successfully employed to characterize genetic diversity in seed bank collections of improved wheat germplasm [6] and wild relatives [7,8]
