Salinity is at present one of the most serious environmental problems influencing crop growth. It has been extensively demonstrated that salinity affects several processes in the plants. Exogenous application of glycinebetaine as seed treatment was observed on wheat under control or saline conditions, although GB pre-sowing effect was not prominent in both cultivars. The concentration of Na+ and CI- were high in MH-97 and low in S-24, suggesting S-24 could be more salt tolerant as compared to MH-97 at initial stages of growth, but MH-97 was superior to S-24 in germination percentage both under control and saline conditions.
