Objectives
Salinity affects soil, water and crop plants. The severity of soil salinity needs to be determined in order to make informed decisions on best crop** practices. Likewise, the tolerance of crop cultivars need...

Protocol for Screening for Salt Tolerance in Rice
A simple protocol is presented that tests salt tolerance in rice seedlings. The method is based on a glasshouse hydroponics test in which salt is added to the nutrient hydroponic solution in which the seedling...

Chapter
Introduction
Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting crop yields in many parts of the world. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) Land and Plant Nutrition Management service estimates that over 400 million hecta...

Chapter
Protocol for measuring soil salinity
A simple protocol is described that tests soil salinity. Water-soluble salts are extracted from soil samples and salt content measured. Accurate field evaluations require sampling at various field locations an...

Protocol for Screening for Salt Tolerance in Barley and Wheat
A simple protocol is presented that tests salt tolerance in wheat and barley seedlings. The method is based on a glasshouse, aerated hydroponics test in which salt is added to the nutrient hydroponic solution ...

A high-throughput DNA extraction method for barley seed
A non-destructive, quick DNA extraction method for barley seed is described. The method is simple and consists of drilling out a sample from the seed, adding sodium hydroxide, heating in a microwave oven and n...

Salinity induced differences in growth, ion distribution and partitioning in barley between the cultivar Maythorpe and its derived mutant Golden Promise
Dry matter changes and ion partitioning in two near isogenic barley cultivars Maythorpe (relatively salt sensitive) and Golden Promise (relatively salt tolerant) were studied in response to increasing salinity...

Mutation genetics of salt tolerance in barley: An assessment of Golden Promise and other semi-dwarf mutants
A review of research at the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) on the effects of semi-dwarfing genes on salt tolerance in barley is given. Work began in1993 with the fortuitous and unexpected result that ...
