Boron (B) toxicity is important in many
soils, especially in the dry regions of the world.
Development of tolerant varieties is a high priority
in these regions. This study aimed to assess
the B tolerance in wheat at the seedling stage.
Eight wheat varieties some of them with tolerance
to salinity and boron, were evaluated and
compared in greenhouse with and without boron
in solution culture. Effects of different concentrations
of boron [control (2.5mM), 50, 100,
150 and 200 mM] on plant growth viz. root and
shoot length, number of roots, dry weight of
root and shoot and endosperm weight were
monitored. The main criterion selected for boron
tolerance was root length. Root growth suppression
in KRL 99, Kharchia 65 and BT-Schomburgk
varieties was less and these varieties may be
considered as boron tolerant. HD 2009, KRL 240
and Schomburgk were marked as boron intolerant
owing to higher reduction in roots under
boron treatments. KRL 238 and KRL 3-4 varieties
were moderately tolerant to excess boron. The
impacts of findings are discussed in relation to
opportunities for wheat improvement for soils
and irrigation water that contain toxic concentrations
of Boron.
