Abstract
Present study was undertaken to find out the wheat variety suitable for the areas affected with the dual stress of salinity and hypoxia. Matrix culture techniques were used to simulate the field conditions. Growth parameters like shoot fresh weight and total biomass were affected adversely by both the stresses while root fresh weight was increased with hypoxia and decreased with salinity stress. Among the cvs. Blue Silver, Chinese Spring, LU 26S, Pato and 7-Cerros, the cv. Blue Silver showed the least reduction in different growth parameters compared with the others.
