Abstract
The interactive effect of salinity and hypoxia was studied on the distribution of ions in leaves of four wheat genotypes grown with (75, 150 mol m') and without NaCl salinity under aerated and hypoxic conditions. Number of tillers, shoot fresh weight and shoot length were negatively affected by salinity. The combined effect of salinity and hypoxia was more injurious to the number of tillers, shoot fresh weight and shoot length. Ionic concentrations (Na", K+ and Cl") in different leaves indicated that the concentration of Na" and Cl- increased in leaves due to salinity and hypoxia and was higher in older leaves, whereas the order was reverse in case of K + Key words: growth, ionic distribution, salinity, waterlogging, wheat genotypes
