Role of mineral nutrients, antioxidants, osmotic adjustment and PSII stability in salt tolerance of contrasting wheat genotypes

Abstract Global food production is threatened due to increasing salinity and can be stabilized by improving salt tolerance of crops. In the current study, salt tolerance potential of 40 local wheat cultivars against 150 mM NaCl stress was explored. Salt treatment at seedling stage caused less reduct...
