Abstract

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses and growth-limiting factors for agricultural crops throughout the world. To evaluate the effect of salinity stress on quantitative and qualitative traits, 140 sugar beet genotypes (hybrid and full-sib) were screened under normal and salinity stress in the greenhouse. The trial was conducted in split-plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that there was a significant difference between normal and stress conditions in terms of root dry weight, shoot dry weight, relative water content, root length, leaf area, petiole length, root to shoot ratio, proline content, sodium content, potassium content, and potassium to sodium ratio. There were also significant difference among genotypes for total dry weight, shoot fresh and dry weight, root dry weight and leaf area. Salinity increased the amount of sodium and proline and decreased the amount of potassium and potassium to sodium ratio. The low level of broad-sense heritability under normal condition for yield-related traits indicates that these traits are affected by environmental factors. In contrast, the highest rate of broad-sense heritability was related to the sodium and potassium contents, indicating that these traits are affected by genetic factors.
