Abstract

Present study focused on the response of two different varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum. L) against salinity. Salinity treatments were made by measuring half the amount of NaCl ds m−1 needed to be prepared in distilled water. Anatomical alterations were seen in all treatments and the alterations increased as saline concentration increased. However, both the varieties managed to survive and bring about changes in stem, root and leaf. The anatomical features of both the varieties were observed under microscope and photographs were taken.
