Summary
The effect of salt stress at 1% NaCl (w/v = 171 mM) on different barley cultivars was tested over a growth period of 9 weeks. It was found that the 14 cultivars tested reacted quite differently to the stress situation. Growth and ionic content were followed in three to four plant parts, such as old leaves, young leaves, sheath and the ear as it appeared. The best growing plants also showed the most efficient salt segregation between their different parts. It is our aim to analyse in further detail (metabolism) how these plants differ from each other to explain their better salt resistance. There were some genetic links between these cultivars, but the genetic background was rather confused, due to uncontrolled intercrossing with other unknown types.
