Effect Of Sodium Chloride Concentrations On Some Of Growth Parameters To Three Genotype Of BarleyHordium vulgare L.) (

Abstract

The experiment was carried out in the green house of, Biology Department of ,College of
Education , Ibn Al-Haitham , Baghdad University. For growth season 2008-2009 via planting
seeds of three genotypes of barley cultivars Baraka , Becson and Baraka x Forest ,to study the
effect of different concentrations of NaCl (o , 50 ,100 , 150 , 200 ) mM.L on some
growth parameters such as fresh and dry weight of shoot and elements plants the experiment
carried out by using completely randomized design applied with four replicates . Data were
statistically analyzed by using least significant differenceat0.05probabilitylevel.
The results showed that an increase in NaCl salt concentrations from 0 to 200mM.L
-1
leads to significant decrease in the some of parameters values with significant increase in
sodium and chloride concentrations in the shoot .Moreover the results revealed significant
difference among genotypes in their tolerance to high concentrations of NaCl The Barak
genotype exhibited a good tolerance against high concentrations of salt.
