“…Some reports showed that there was a large genotypic diVerence for barley in salinity tolerance (Greenway 1962;Lawlor et al 1981;Hussain et al 1997;Mer et al 2000;Huang et al 2006). Mano and Takeda (1997) found QTLs controlling salt tolerance at germination stage on chromosomes 1H, 4H, 5H, and 6H and at seedling stage on chromosome 1H, 2H, 5H, and 6H.…”

Salinity is a major abiotic stress to barley (Hordum vulgare L.) growth and yield. In the current study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for yield and physiological components at the late growth stage under salt stress and non-stress environments were determined in barley using a double haploid population derived from a cross between CM72 (salt-tolerant) and Gairdner (salt-sensitive). A total of 30 QTLs for 10 traits, including tiller numbers (TN), plant height, spikes per line (SPL), spikes per plant (SPP), dry weight per plant, grains per plant, grain yield, shoot Na + (NA) and K + concentraitions (K) in shoot, and Na + /K + ratio (NAK), were detected, with 17 and 13QTLs under non-stress and salt stress, respectively.

“…The seeds were transferred to sterile Petri dishes (100 mm in diameter) containing two Whatman No. 1 filter paper moistened with 15 mL half‐strength control solution, i.e., no NaCl added (Timm et al, 1991), or the control solution with NaCl added to produce a salinity level of 20 dS m −1 This salinity level was chosen to represent the highest salinity level of saline water aquifers in the Arabian Peninsula (Hussain et al, 1997; ICBA, 2000). Batches of 400 Petri dishes were placed in the dark in a precision incubator (RU MED Type 3001‐3601, Rubarth Apparate GmbH, Germany).…”

“…The 0.85 dS m −1 saline solution was used in the sand culture to simulate natural field conditions (Kader and Jutzi, 2002). The 10.0 dS m −1 salinity level was chosen to represent the predominant salinity level of saline water aquifers in the Arabian Peninsula (Hussain et al, 1997; ICBA, 2000). A nutrient solution (Timm et al, 1991) was prepared separately for each treatment.…”

Genetic Diversity in the Batini Barley Landrace from Oman

Understanding the diversity for salt tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces will facilitate their use in genetic improvement. Our objectives were to screen a collection of 2308 accessions in seven subpopulations of the Omani Batini barley landrace under salinity stress, quantify genetic variation in germination and early seedling growth attributes, establish the forage yield‐salinity response functions for 10 families within each subpopulation, and select genotypes with high yield potential under salinity. Subpopulations displayed high levels of genetic diversity and differed significantly for seed germination and seedling growth attributes at 0.0 and 20.0 dS m−1, and at tillering stage for forage yield at 0.85, 10.0, and 20.0 dS m−1 A multivariate‐based selection criterion for high forage yield at tillering stage under salinity stress, based on simultaneous selection for low temporal variation in germination and high shoot dry weight under 20.0 dS m−1, identified highly salt tolerant accessions. Twenty‐five out of 70 families representing seven subpopulations were classified as salt tolerant on the basis of their salinity susceptibility indices at 20.0 dS m−1 Accessions with short rachilla or with high root number and root length under salinity stress ranked highest in salt tolerance. Forage yield at 10.0 and 20.0 dS m−1 can be predicted with high (R2 = 0.67, P < 0.0001) and moderate (R2 = 0.23, P < 0.01) accuracy by forage yield under 0.85 dS m−1 On average, forage yield was reduced by 2.4 and 7.9% per dS m−1 at 10.0 and 20.0 dS m−1, respectively. Although genetically not improved, the landrace, in general, and subpopulation Batini 4, in particular, contain diversity that remains to be exploited.

“…Based on the indicators of crop sensitivity to salinity, as proposed by Maas and Hoffmann (1977), barley crop has a critical threshold of the saturation extract electrical conductivity of 8 dS m -1 and a 5% slope. Hussain et al (1997) conducted a research on five barley cultivars irrigated with water of increasing salinity and a 15% LR (leaching requirement); they observed a reduction in the germinating ability as compared to the control of 24-35, 28-47, 30-53% when the crop was irrigated with water with an EC of 9.26, 13.4 and 16.28 dS m -1 respectively, whereas they obtained satisfactory forage barley yields when using an irrigation water with an EC till 9.26 dS m -1 . Hamdy et al (2005) investigated the possibility to apply supplemental irrigation to wheat and barley at crop sensitive stages (flowering and seed formation) using brackish water with an EC level from 3 to 9 dS m -1 : they obtained 21% mean barley yield reductions as compared to the control irrigated with fresh water; instead without any supplemental irrigation they observed 100% barley yield drops.…”

“…Other research works investigated some physiological aspects (Isla et al 1997;Munns R., 2002), the influence of irrigation water on germinating ability, and some yield parameters (Hussain et al, 1997;Iyengar et al, 1984;Koszanski et al, 1985;Abdul et al, 1988;Heakal et al, 1990;Aragüés et al, 1994). Instead the literature on the effects of soil salinity and sodic- Lacolla G., Cucci G. ity, the influence of correction on crop productivity is still poor.…”

The research was aimed at assessing the salinity and sodicity effects of two soil types submitted to correction on barley crop. The two soils, contained in cylindrical pots (0.40 m in size and 0.60 m h) supplied with a bottom valve for the collection of drainage water and located under shed to prevent the leaching action of rainfall, were clay-textured and saline and sodic-saline at barley seeding, as they had been cultivated for 4 consecutive years with different herbaceous species irrigated with 9 types of brackish water. In 2002-2003 the 2 salinized and sodium-affected soils (ECe and ESP ranging respectively from 5.84-20.27 dSm -1 to 2.83-11.19%), submitted to correction, were cultivated with barley cv Micuccio, and irrigated with fresh water (ECw = 0.5 dS m -1 and SAR = 0.45) whenever 30% of the maximum soil available moisture was lost by evapotranspiration. Barley was shown to be a salt-tolerant species and did not experience any salt stress when grown in soils with an initial ECe up to 11 dS m -1 . When it was grown in more saline soils (initial ECe of about 20 dS m -1 ), despite the correction, it showed a reduction in shoot biomass and kernel yield by 26% and 36% respectively, as compared to less saline soils.
