Variation existed between plants of the lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) cultivar CUF 101 for dry matter production, shoot number and length, and leaf damage when grown for 70 days under 250 mM NaCl (15 h photoperiod, 20�C day, 10�C night). Salt tolerance evaluation using the criteria percentage leaf damage (percentage of total number of leaves with complete or partial necrosis) and length of the main shoot, isolated plants which showed salt tolerance of reasonably high heritability (h2=0.41). Two generations of recurrent selection for tolerance significantly increased the mean population tolerance without decreasing production under non-saline conditions. While both sodium and chloride concentrations of the shoot were lower in the tolerant than in less tolerant plants, chloride was more closely associated with salt tolerance than sodium. Sodium and chloride concentrations in the roots did not vary with the level of salt tolerance. No association of shoot and root potassium concentration with tolerance was evident. Selection for salt tolerance in lucerne plants using percentage leaf damage of less than 10% as the main criterion should give a rapid response to selection. The efficiency of selection may be increased if selection is based on the efficiency of chloride exclusion from the shoots and/or the level of chloride tolerated by the shoots prior to leaf damage becoming evident.
