Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the salt tolerance level of foxtail millet accessions. Salinity tolerance of 10 foxtail millet accessions was determined by a rapid screening method at 7-days-old seedlings and at 3-weeks-old seedlings. Based on the root length and relative seed germination of the 7 days-old-seedlings, and based on the root growth and plasma membrane integrity of the root tip under salinity at the seedling stage, ICERI-5 and ICERI-6 accessions were identified as tolerant accessions, while ICERI-10 were identified as sensitive accessions. Accessions with tolerance to salinity are valuable genetic materials for further crop improvement program.
