Abstract
The effect of varying levels of salinity on germination, seedling growth, and some metabolic parameters viz., total soluble proteins, free amino acids and nitrate reductase activity in Arachis hypogea L. was studied. Seeds of Arachis hypogea tolerated salinity up to 100mM during germination. Root elongation remains unaffected and tolerated all the concentrations of NaCl tested while the shoot elongation was reduced by salinity. Chlorophyll and carotenoid content declined with increasing concentration of NaCl tested. Total soluble proteins accumulated due to salinity whereas total free amino acid content decreased. Nitrate reductase activity although declined, in general, about 60% activity was left at the highest concentration (100mM) of NaCl used.
