Use of Photosynthesis and Transpiration for Early Selection of Salt Tolerant Triticales

A. Morant-Avice, R. Houchi, P. Jurvilliers, G. Tremblin

Three cultivars of winter hexaploid triticales M2A/JAIN, DF 99/Yogu "S5", and Asseret were grown on nutrient solution with or without 75 mM NaCl. Stomatal permeability and transpiration rate decreased in all salt-stressed triticale cultivars. Net photosynthetic rate (PN) of cv. M2A and Asseret was not affected by NaCl. On the contrary, PN in cv. DF99 was reduced in relation to control plants. A higher water-use efficiency under saline conditions led to better salt tolerance of cv. M2A compared to cvs. Asseret and DF99.

Additional key words: stomata; water use efficiency
