STRUCTURED barley population of 103 wild barley accession ……and 19 spring barley cultivars was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for salt tolerance traits by means of an association mapping approach using 660 DArT markers. In this investigation barley accession and spring barley cultivars were employed in a twoyear greenhouse project having a completely randomized design involving four irrigation water treatments having different salinities and twice replicated. Measurement parameters included grain yield per plant, straw weight, relative water content, chlorophyll content, Na + , K + and salt tolerance %. Several statistical models were compared, the K-model was less spurious background associations, in this model 61 QTLs were detected under both of control and salt stress conditions (1000, 3000 and 5000 ppm NaCl of water irrigation) over whole barley genome for yield, straw weight, relative water content, chlorophyll content , Na + , K + and salt tolerance %. Among of these QTLs, 21 detected under control, phenotypic variations explained by these QTLs, were ranged from 8.02 in N+ to 25.67% of the total variation in K + . 40 QTLs were identified under saline conditions and the phenotypic variation explained by each main effect QTLs (M-QTL) ranged from 4.65 % in chlorophyll content at 3000 ppm condition to 28.13 % in ST at 5000 ppm condition. The genomic regions that harbor QTLs for Na + , salt tolerance and related traits on chromosome 1H, 2H and 7H in our study can be used for targeting candidate gene (s) for salt tolerance of barley.
