Salinity is a worldwide problem in agricultural production and is a major abiotic stress for plants in semi‐arid or arid regions; a third of irrigated land and a fifth of cropland are affected by salinity (Muscolo, Sidari, & Panuccio, 2003; Shrivastava & Kumar, 2015). Wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum), a perennial forage species, has strong salinity resistance and good productivity.
