Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Introgression of wild alleles from the wild progenitor (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) of cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) provides a powerful approach to expand genetic variation and enhance abiotic stress resilience. However, potential of wild barley germplasm for improving salinity tolerance in cultivated barley has not yet been fully explored. In this study, 21 wild accessions from...
