THE EFFECT OF SODIUM-CHLORIDE ON THE PHYSIOLOGY OF COTYLEDONS AND MOBILIZATION OF RESERVED FOOD IN CICER-ARIETINUM
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.
