Abstract
Seven flax cultivars, grown in a greenhouse in nonsaline, moderately s aline, and strongly saline (1, 6, and 12 dS m(-1)) soils had greater d ry weights of plant tops on moderately saline treatment. Tops had high er K+ and Na+ concentrations on the saline treatments, but K:Na ratios decreased with increasing salinity. Tops were less salt tolerant than roots. Cultivars responded differently to the treatments, but appeare d, overall, similar in salt tolerance.
