Randomized trial evaluates wheat genotypes for yield and salt tolerance in saline soil, indicating potential for improved crops.

This study aims to identify wheat genotypes that can tolerate salinity based on their yield and ionic attributes.
Evaluated 20 wheat genotypes under saline soil conditions (ECe ≈ 6.3 and 12.5 dS m−1)
Used randomized complete block design with three replicates
Recorded data on grain yield, spikes, kernels, 1000-grain weight, and ionic attributes
Grain yields varied from 0.51 t ha−1 to 1.14 t ha−1 among genotypes, with Bhan 2000, Local, P7, Sakha 93 showing highest yields.
Strong positive correlation between grain yield and kernels per spike (r = 0.75) and K+/Na+ ratio (r = 0.55).
Genotypes with higher K+/Na+ ratios demonstrated better salt tolerance, with selected genotypes maintaining optimal ionic regulation.

Alshamrani et al. (2026) studied this question.
