| The new salt-tolerant lines "101"and"78" of wheat which were bred in Fukang Ecology Station of Xinjiang Ecological and Geography Institute, CAS,had favorable characteristics of salt-tolerance and high yield in saline soil experiments. In solution of 1.5% sodium sulfate, the germination rate of "101"and"78"was higher than Lunkang 6, Dexuan 1 and Xingdong 17. In the pot-cultured test with soil containing 1.5% salt of chloride-sulfate, their death rate in three leaves period and dry needle length of flag leaf were lower, and their yields were greater than Lunkang 6, Dexuan 1 and Xingdong 17. The production benefits of these two lines were even better than other cultivars on light/moderate saline soils and good fertility soils. "78", which belongs to the type of semi-winter wheat,can get a relatively satisfactory yield when sowed lately, so it is an excellent cultivar to be planted after cotton or maize. |
