In order to evaluation of morphological selection criteria for salt tolerance screening in wheat (T. aestivum L.) a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design in 3 replications were conducted under greenhouse condition. Salinity treatments involved 4 levels: S=1.3dSm-1 (control), 5, 10, 15 dSm-1 from calcium chloride and sodium chloride with 10:1 (Na: Ca ratio) and another facto...
