TLDR
Under salinity, the amphiploid greatly outperformed CS in grain yield, biomass, and other characters, indicating that it is more salt tolerant than CS.
Abstract
Bread wheat cv. Chinese Spring (CS), an amphiploid from a cross between CS and salt-tolerant Lophopyrum (= Agropyron) elongatum (Host) Love, 19 of 21 possible disomic substitution lines of L. elong...

Enhanced salt tolerance mediated by AtHKT1 transporter-induced Na unloading from xylem vessels to xylem parenchyma cells.

TL;DR: Findings show that AtHKT1 selectively unloads sodium directly from xylem vessels to xyleM parenchyma cells, thereby playing a central role in protecting plant leaves from salinity stress.

Use of wild relatives to improve salt tolerance in wheat

TL;DR: As several sources of improved Na+ "exclusion" are now known to reside on different chromosomes in various genomes of species in the Triticeae, further work to identify the underlying mechanisms and then to pyramid the controlling genes for the various traits might enable substantial gains in salt tolerance to be achieved.

Drought and salt tolerances in wild relatives for wheat and barley improvement.

TL;DR: Drought- and salt-tolerant genes and quantitative trait loci have been identified in T. dicoccoides and H. spontaneum and have great potential in wheat and barley improvement.

The genetics of metal tolerance in vascular plants.

TL;DR: The study of the genetics of tolerance is of importance in planning breeding programmes to produce tolerant crops for use in areas where metal contamination is a limiting factor in productivity.
