^‘† Mean values in the same row for each trait followed by the same lower-case letter are not significantly different according to Duncan’s multiple range test at p ≤ 0.05. ^# Measurements were made at 0, 24, 48, 96, 120 h after subjecting wheat plants at 0.2, 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 dS m⁻¹ salt stress for 21 days.
