This book offers effective, low-costand user-friendly protocols for the pre-field selection of salt-tolerant mutants in cereal crops. It presents simple methods for measuring soil salinity, includingsoil sampling and the analysis of water-soluble salts, and describes adetailed, but simple, screening test for salt tolerance in rice, wheat andbarley seedlings, which uses hydroponics. The protocols are devised for use byplant breeders and can be easily accommodated into breeding practice.

Introduction.- Objectives.- Protocol for measuring soil salinity.- Protocol for screening for salt tolerance in rice.- Protocol for screening for salt tolerance in barley and wheat.
