Abstract in English
A laboratory experiment was conducted during 2002-003. The purpose was
to develop an effective and rapid screening tool to assess the genetic variability
for the response of some local barley varieties to polyethylene glycol- induced
osmotic stress at early growth stage. Also this will help to evaluate the relevance
of pre-exposure of barley seedlings to sub-lethal (induction) levels of osmotic
stress. This might enhance the capacity of seedlings to tolerate the lethal levels
of stress.
