Developing crop varieties with combined salinity and waterlogging tolerance is essential for sustainable agriculture food security in regions affected by these stresses. This process requires an efficient method to rapidly accurately assess the of multiple genotypes Our study examined use a pot trial combination assessment traits 100 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) sourced from around world The stresses were imposed on plants using mM NaCl submerging root systems their bathing solutions. data gathered subjected principal component analysis (PCA), integrated score (IS) each genotype was calculated based morpho-physiological traits; used rank respect or susceptibility. There significant differences among terms relative reductions growth parameters chlorophyll contents, suggesting rich, genetic diversity. To accuracy this methodology gain insight into causes susceptibility, five most tolerant (Misr4 (W85), Corack (W41), Kzyl-Sark (W94), Hofed (W57), BAW-1157 (W14)), two least (Livingstong (W60) Sunvale (W73)) selected IS PCA analysis. These then grown hydroponically without stress. second again PCA, calculated; there reasonable agreement ranking between trials. (W85; Misr4 Egypt) susceptible (W73; Australia) further detail third trial. Plants (W85) had lower Na+/K+ ratios, higher superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase activities, glutathione concentrations. As result, concentrations reactive oxygen species (H2O2 O2•−) malondialdehyde than those (W73). offers sources germplasm stress tolerance. It has also identified that can be future breeding work research mechanisms susceptibility
