The results showed that with increasing salinity, photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, leaf relative water content, relative chlorophyll content and mesophilic conduction (carboxylation efficiency) significantly decreased, and the degree of intercellular CO2 concentration and leaf water use efficiency increased significantly. Also, comparison of meanings showed that there was a significant difference between genotypes in measured factors. Finally, the results of research showed that the genotype of Malas Yousofkhani, due to its superiority in most traits related to salinity tolerance, has more tolerant than other genotypes to salinity induced by sodium chloride. }, URL = {http://jispp.iut.ac.ir/article-1-967-en.html}, eprint = {http://jispp.iut.ac.ir/article-1-967-en.pdf}, journal = {Plant Process and Function}, doi = {}, year = {2019} }
