Background: There are a number of unresolved issues in the design of experiments in greenhouses. They include whether statistical designs should be used and, if so, which designs should be used. Also, are there thigmomorphogenic ...

Soil salinity can severely reduce crop growth and yield. Many studies have investigated salinity tolerance mechanisms in cereals using phenotypes that are relatively easy to measure. The majority of these studies measured ...

Key message Novel QTL for salinity tolerance traits have been detected using non-destructive and destructive phe­ notyping in bread wheat and were shown to be linked to improvements in yield in saline fields. Abstract ...
