THE EFFECT OF SODIUM-CHLORIDE ON THE PHYSIOLOGY OF COTYLEDONS AND
MOBILIZATION OF RESERVED FOOD IN CICER-ARIETINUM
AHMED J; BANO M
Abstract:
The effects of 0, 25,50 75 and 100 meq.l-i sodium chloride on some
physiological proceses of gram was studied in solution culture. Fresh
and dry weight of cotyledons significantly changed (P < 0.05) at
different salinity levels. Concentration of carbohydrate and total
nitrogen in cotyledons showed a marked decrease from the 2nd day. Length
and weight of root and shoot were affected at different salinity levels.
Carbohydrate concentration showed marked reduction at 75 and 100 meq.l-1
NaCl, whereas, significant differences were observed in the nitrogen
content in control and salinity treatments.
