Response of Some Egyptian Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes to Salinity Stress

Abstract

A pot experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions to test the reaction of different wheat genotypes to salt stress. The seeds of 15 wheat genotypes were grown in pots containing sandy loam soil and later on the seedlings were subjected to 3 levels of saline irrigation water after 2 weeks of seed germination. The selected wheat cultivars included
