Abstract
Soli salinity is one of the most severe limiting factor growth and germination. In the present study physiological, biochemical, root histochemical and antioxidant variables of salinity stress of green gram (Vigna radiata) under different concentration of NaCl (Control, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM). The results show that, the salinity stress significantly reduced the plant growth characteristics for example, shoot and root length, fresh and dry weight, chlorophyll ‘a’, ‘b’ and total chlorophyll content. Whereas, the free proline, reducing sugar, starch, protein, amino acid content, and catalase and peroxidase activities were increased while increasing concentration of NaCl. The level of root ROS accumulation always increased. Overall, these results strongly suggested that the increased concentration of NaCl reduced the plant growth and expressively affects the physiological, biochemical and antioxidant metabolism.
