“…There are many scientists who have used these traits to assess response to salinity (Leim et al, 1985;McNeilly, 1999, 2000;Akinci et al, 2004), and the sand culture technique employed in this study has also been used by many researchers to study salinity tolerance in tomato (Vespasiani et al, 1995), wheat (Qureshi et al, 1990;Khan et al, 2003) and rice (Aslam et al, 1993).…”

ABSTRACT. Cultivation of crops in soils with high salt (NaCl) content can affect plant development. We examined the morphological and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in tomato. The responses of 72 accessions of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to salinity were compared by measuring shoot and root lengths, and fresh shoot and root weights relative to those of controls (plants grown in normal salt levels). All traits were reduced at the seedling stage when salinity levels were increased. The accession x salinity interaction was significant for all traits. Root length had higher heritability than other traits and was used as a selection criterion to identify salt-tolerant and -non-tolerant accessions. On the basis of root length, accessions LA2661, CLN2498A, CLN1621L, BL1176, 6233, and 17870 were considered to be more tolerant than accessions 17902, LO2875 and LO4360. The degree of salt tolerance was checked by analyzing K + and Na + concentrations and K + /Na + ratio in tissues of plants treated with 10 and 15 dS/m salinity levels. Tolerance of these accessions to salinity was most associated with low accumulation of Na + and higher K + /Na + ratios.

“…Root length data have been used to successfully distinguish salt tolerant and normal populations of a number of grass species growing in saline and non-saline habitates (Hannon & Bradshaw, 1968 ;Ahmad & Wainwright, 1977 ;Leim et al ., 1985 ;Ashraf et al ., 1986a) . Ashraf et al .…”

Data on root lengths of two-week-old seedlings of 51 Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench accessions germinated in 50, 100, 150, 175, and 200 mM NaCl solutions were used to estimate broad sense heritabilities of variation for salinity tolerance .Estimates of broad sense heritabilities ranged from 0 .38 to 0 .73, the highest being in 50 mM NaCl, suggesting that there is potential for improving salinity tolerance in the species through selection and breeding.

“…Hitherto, different crop species were observed under saline conditions for fresh and dry weights of roots and shoots (Liem et al, 1985;Azhar and McNeilly, 1989;Noori and McNeilly, 2000;Akinci et al, 2004) 2009; Turhan and Seniz, 2012), that are maintained by plants. These physio-agronomic plant traits were used as worthy indicators of salt tolerance (Ibrahim, 2003) for screening tomato genotypes at seedling stages.…”

Salinity being a serious limitation to crop production is an established fact since ages. It has adversely affected the adaptive behavior of our field crops particularly at seed germination and seedling stages. Identification of particular plant traits conferring salinity tolerance is important for inducing genetic variation among the target traits and adjusting the selection pressure for them in field. This experimental study was conducted to explore percent (%) weight loss of roots and shoots at increasing salt stresses (control, 10 dS m -1 and 15 dS m -1 ) along with certain dry weight and cationic ratio tolerance indices. The experiment was conducted in the glasshouse to screen seedlings of 25 tomato genotypes. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis were used to screen the genotypes for variability and salt tolerance. Based on associative interactions for salt tolerance traits and highly negative response towards weight percent (%) reductions, three genotypes were identified as salt tolerant; BEAVER LODGE SLICER, ZARNITZA, and FORME DE COEUR. Two genotypes GLACIER and Rio-GRANDE were highly positive for K + /Na + and Ca 2+ /Na + ratios tolerance indices. Based on these findings, the genotypes BEAVER LODGE SLICER, ZARNITZA and FORME DE COEUR are suggested to be planted in salt affected area. The six genotypes (ANAHU, LO-2707, 17860, UOVO ROSEO, NAGINA and LA-2821) showed significant negative behavior towards weight % reduction, and a little positive towards salt tolerance indices were considered as moderately salt tolerant.
