Due to lack of water resources in irrigated agriculture, genetically improving plants to abiotic stresses such as salinity is a necessity for food and feed production. In this respect, the new third man-made amphiploid cereal, tritipyrum (2n=6x=42, AABBE b E b ), is an example which is capable of tolerating a high level of NaCl. In order to determine the salinity tolerance mechanisms of this new cereal, an experiment was conducted using hydroponic technique. Ten tritipyrum lines and two wheat cu
