متن کاملEffect of Salinity Stress on Grain Yield and Grain Quality in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Lines
The effects of salinity stress on grain quality traits of wheat were investigated using 180 lines of F5 generation in two environments (normal and salinity stress). A randomized complete block designs with three replications was used in each of the environments at the Research Farm of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station of Isfahan in 2019-2020 cropping season. Grain yield, p...
