The physiological response of some Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor ( L.) Moench] genotypes to salinity stress at early growth stages


Abstract in English

A hydroponic culture experiment was conducted under the green house conditions, at the general commission of scientific agricultural research, and the faculty of agriculture, Damascus university, during the year 2002-003. The objectives of this investigation concentrated on the influence of four salinity levels (0-50-100-150 mM NaCl) on some physiological parameters of eight sorghum genotypes. The experiment was designed in a RCB design with three replications.
