Cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, and others are cultivated in every part of the world. However, cereals crop cultivation globally has been affected by salinity stress. Salinity stress causes a reduction in the growth, yield and productivity of cereal crops. Hence, to overcome the problem related to salinity stress, several plans are made to develop a salinity tolerance cereal variety. Therefore, various strategies, from phenotypic and molecular screening, have been introduced to develop salinity tolerance cereal varieties. Salinity tolerance is a crucial trait that must be inserted into cereal crops to maximize the yield productivity of cereals crops. The objective of this review is to undergo screening for salinity tolerance in the third filial (F3) segregating population of cereals to identify the large amounts of lines correlated with salt tolerance which were further used in the breeding process. Besides, the selection process of F3 and other populations of the cereals is conducted on yield and yield components and the correlation between traits linked with salt tolerance. Thus, this review study will focus on the screening and selection process of the F3 and other generations on salinity-tolerant and high-yielding cereals developments.
