Abstract: The present study investigates the function of tillering in salt tolerance in wheat. Results suggest that tillers may have the function of the collective defense to resist the salt toxicity. Under saline conditions, the ion accumulation and growth of tillers can be regulated by the different tiller number per plant. In the salt-tolerant cultivar, the exclusion of toxic ions in the individual tiller proposes that more tillers enhance the plant salt tolerance, while in the salt-sensitive cultivar, fewer tillers are better to enhance the tiller growth of plants because the tissue tolerance to toxic ions is increased.
