Effect of soil salinity on grain filling and grain development in barley

Experiments were conducted with five barley cultivars with the aim of ascertaining the effect of salt stress on grain filling, grain development and bioohemical composition of developing grains. Reduced grain yield under salt stress was found to be due to reduced efficiency per day to fill the grains and consequent more effective days and also due to disturbed starch-sugar balance.
