Salt and drought tolerant crop cultivars produced/developed through screening, selection, breeding, mutation breeding, tissue culture, molecular breeding or through transgenic approaches are very few. A number of reports are available in the literature using different strategies but most of them are not tested in field conditions or for commercial purposes. A number of reviews focused on why a limited success in this regard. I am interested in collecting data about name of crop cultivars that has been developed so far. Please give the name of salt/drought tolerant cultivar with reference or weblink. For example, 

Name of crop     Cultivar         Salt tolerant    method used     Reference

Wheat          S-24             Salt tolerant    Breeding & selection     Ashraf, 2009
